Breakfast 2025 Talks – Michael Canady

In a world where the values of Notre Dame are increasingly challenged, student Michael Canady (ND ’26) stands as a beacon of hope. As Editor-in-Chief of The Irish Rover, he embodies the spirit of courage and truth, urging his peers to engage in the battle for the university’s Catholic identity. “Notre Dame is a battleground,” he asserts, emphasizing the need for directness and clarity in addressing moral issues. In this Bulletin, Werner Graf, ND ’89, offers his personal reflection on Canady’s remarks from our Annual Breakfast.
