4th Annual God, Country, Notre Dame Mass, February 21, 2010

Sunday, February 21 at 10:30 am
Chaminade College Preparatory Chapel

This year, the Notre Dame Club of St. Louis will show our support for local first responders by including the Creve Coeur Police and Fire Departments in our celebration.

Please let us know if you have any loved ones deployed with the military by emailing Meghan White at meghanlwhite@EARTHLINK.NET and we will include them in our prayers.

In response to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Notre Dame Alumni Association developed the God, Country, Notre Dame initiative to serve as an organizational resource for members of the Notre Dame family to unite in prayerful support for those who are called to protect our God-given freedoms. This includes the brave men and women who serve domestically and abroad in the military, State Department, FBI, CIA, and numerous civil servant roles (police, fire fighters, rescue, etc). We pray for all victims of terrorism, wherever they may be, their families, and the countless heroes that offer comfort and assistance, and in many cases give their lives during the rescue and recovery efforts.

We pray for a peaceful resolution to world conflict and the ability for all people to live in harmony regardless of color, race, creed or religious belief. We pray for victims of oppression and the liberation of those who are forced to submit to the will of an individual or state. God, Country, Notre Dame does not promote nor does it endorse violence as a means for attaining world peace and stability. It does however, call on members of the Notre Dame family to unite in prayerful vigilance for the expedient resolution of world conflict, and when necessary for the safety and protection of those who are asked to defend our freedom with their lives. It further empowers our alumni and friends to render tangible support to the individuals and their families, who may endure hardships as a result of their duties.

Please plan to join us for our annual God, Country, Notre Dame Mass that will be celebrated by Father James Tobin, '76 on Sunday morning, February 21st, at 10:30 a.m. in the Chaminade College Prep Chapel. Coffee and donuts will be served at a reception following mass.

For many, the University of Notre Dame is a sacred place where people from all ages draw strength to love, to suffer in hope, to find faith in challenge, to discover their path, and ultimately, to remember their purpose. Pray at ND is our effort to bring the spiritual resources of our Lady's University to you. I hope that this Web site is a tool that inspires your prayer life and helps you to be present for good in your community, your home, your work place, and the world.
