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.

Complete the form below for invitations to pray together for those entrusted with Notre Dame’s Catholic identity. We’ll let you know what we’re up to as well. However, we will never sell, trade, or give away your contact information — and you can unsubscribe whenever you like.

Mass Intention

Father John J. Raphael (ND ’89) offers a monthly Mass for the intentions of members of our Sycamore Trust community. If you have an intention that you would like him to include, you may submit it by clicking on the following button.

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.

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.
