This year we have 41 students from the Houston area that will be part of the Class of 2013.  Please join us in welcoming the new class (and their relatives) into the Notre Dame Family and to wish them luck as they head up north.

The send off will be Sunday, August 2nd at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in downtown.  It will begin with the 11am mass where the students will be recognized wth a special blessing and then move across the street to the Cathedral Centre for lunch, catered by the Original Ninfa's Catering.  After lunch, we will break into groups to talk about what South Bend winters are really like. So we need as many of our Alumni to attend and and help the students in this transition period.

To help cover the costs of the dinner, there will be a charge of $20 per adult and $10 per child under the age of 12. We will collect the money at the Cathedral Centre.  Please RSVP to John McMannis ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) by Tuesday, July 28th if you are going to make the event.  If you should have any questions, please send them to John and he will get back to you.
