Pray with us

For those entrusted with Notre Dame’s Catholic mission

Apostolate

The battle for Notre Dame’s Catholic identity cannot be won without a constant outpouring of prayer that is humble, trusting, and persevering in love. By joining our Apostolate, you are simply making yourself available as you are able to participate in regular and special prayer projects in support of our mission for authentic Catholic renewal at Notre Dame.

Ember Days

Join this quarterly initiative of prayer and penance for Notre Dame’s students, alumni, faculty, and staff.

12-Days Meditation

Keep Christmastide going by celebrating all Twelve Days Christmas with this annual medication series.

Novenas

Pray for Catholic education as students prepare for another academic year in this annual Novena.

Rosary at the Grotto

Meet us near the sycamore tree at the Grotto during Reunion for a scriptural Rosary with Young Alumni.

To join our Apostolate and participate in any of our prayer projects, please complete the form below. Once signed up, you'll receive materials as they become available. Meanwhile, we invite you to include a petition for the authentic Catholic renewal of Notre Dame in your morning prayers. And, if you're able, please join us (in spirit) by praying the Memorare after daily Mass on the last Saturday of each month -- also for the authentic Catholic renewal of Notre Dame.

Mass Intention

Father John Raphael (ND ’89) offers a monthly Mass for the intentions of our Sycamore Trust community. This includes all of our readers, volunteers, Apostolate members, and donors. If you consider yourself to be part of this community and have a special intention that you would like him to include in this Mass, we encourage you to click on the button below to submit your request.

Holy Cards

Beginning with a general prayer for those who have been entrusted with Notre Dame's Catholic mission distributed to the guests at our 2016 Annual Breakfast, we continue to publish holy cards on topics that are timely and of relevance to Notre Dame's Catholic identity. Some of those are available here for download with printing instructions. If you have joined our Apostolate, you will receive new holy cards as they are published.

We have begun to publish our Easter message on Low Sunday, at the conclusion of the Easter Octave, as a reminder that the Easter is not a single day but 50 days of joyful celebration.

1942 Student Prayer Book

To thee, O Star of the Sea,
from the waves of this life I lift my eyes;
guide my soul, and show me a course
whereupon I may serve our Divine Master,
and at last reach the port of our heavenly country,
through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
