Lucernarium
Sacred Heart Parish Center ~ 8-8:30 PM ~ Weekly on Thursday
"The Looch", as seminarians fondly call it, is a weekly evening candlelit service loosely based on the office of compline ("high bedtime prayers" is one description given to compline). This beautiful time of prayer is open to all students of the university! Stay after the service to socialize!
Saturdays with the Saints
Geddes Hall ~ 10:30 AM or 3:30 PM ~ Home Game Saturdays
Saturdays with the Saints has established itself as a popular Notre Dame football pregame ritual that combines the university's rich traditions of Catholic faith and spirited game days. Notre Dame theology faculty and McGrath Institute staff will deliver dynamic lectures on saints chosen for their uncommon virtue and their willingness to let their faith stand in contradiction to the wisdom of the world.
Visit the McGrath website for current dates!

EXALT: Adoration, Reflection, Praise & Worship
Various Hall Chapels ~ 7:30-9 PM ~ First Friday of Every Month
Exalt is a monthly night of worship through music in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Each Exalt includes Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, a reflection offered by a member of our Notre Dame family, and praise and worship music offered by our Totus Tuus Band. Priests are on hand to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and a student prayer team is present to pray one-on-one with interested students. All are welcome, no matter your previous experience with this style of worship.

Are you in the midst of making a big decision about your future? Perhaps you're considering an internship, career, religious vocation, or marriage?
