In this Bulletin, we draw attention to Notre Dame’s troubling observance of “Pride Month” over the past four years—a stark contrast to its Catholic foundation. We invite you to stand with us in reclaiming the month of June in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As part of this effort, we encourage you to participate in our Sacred Heart Novena, taking place from June 19 to 27, 2025. Join us in exploring the implications of this shift and the importance of rekindling devotion to the Sacred Heart, the very soul of Catholic identity at Notre Dame.
