 The Catholic tradition is one of the most special and distinctive characteristics of Notre Dame. One of the most meaningful events a club can offer is the opportunity for alumni to worship together through an event such as a communion breakfast, family Mass, Alumni Urban Plunge assisting the needy, or alumni retreat.
The Notre Dame Club of Phoenix offers annual events such as:
Christmas Mass and Breakfast
In early December a Christmas Mass and breakfast is annually held for all Notre Dame, St. Marys College, and Holy Cross College alumni, family, relatives, and friends. Everyone is encouraged to bring a Christmas gift that the club then donates to the less fortunate families. Father Jim Ferguson C.S.C. celebrates our Mass for the club as our new chaplain. Father Robert Kramer C.S.C. had been our club chaplain for many years. Father Kramer recently passed away at Notre Dame.
Freshman Send-Off
 In July a Mass and reception is held annually to bid success to all incoming freshman and transfer students to Notre Dame, St. Mary's College, and Holy Cross College. All club members, family, and friends are invited to attend.
Online Resources
In addition, the University provides several online resources to help enhance your spiritual life. Sponsored by the Alumni Association, pray.nd.edu features inspirational videos, daily prayers and Gospel readings, as well as Prayer requests for the Grotto. NDPrayercast.org, offered by the Office of Campus Ministry, offers videos of Masses at the Basilica, recorded homilies and prayers, all downloadable as podcasts.
