PROJECT SYCAMORE
protecting the catholic identity of notre dame
“Catholic universities...are privileged places in which the Church can mobilize her resources to hand on the faith...and foster the intellectual revolution that Pope John Paul II envisaged in ‘Fides et Ratio.’”

Cardinal Avery Dulles, S.J.
Boston College Magazine, Winter ‘06
