Opening Mass
August 26, 2008
University of Notre Dame President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., opened the academic year by wishing that students, faculty and staff “be afflicted by hope” and “the courage and conviction to act when action is called for and to inspire others to act as well” during his homily at the academic year Opening Mass in the Joyce Center. The all-community celebration Mass was followed by a picnic on the Hesburgh Library Quad.
