We continue to celebrate and pray for our new Pope, Leo XIV! We are grateful to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who gifts us a pastor to exemplify God’s loving leadership and care for us.❤️‍🔥

Mary, our Mother, pray for us!

Due to the inclement weather, today's Memorial Day Mass has been moved inside the Basilica. Those wishing to participate via livestream can do so at the following link:

The Basilica serves as the University Church for the University of Notre Dame and as the mother church for the Congregation of Holy Cross in the United States.

The King is alive!

This Easter season, the Basilica is adorned with gold. Gold is a reminder to us that King Jesus is truly present here and He is surely alive.

Mary of Nazareth, the Mother of God, has another title: “House of Gold”. This is because she harbors Jesus. She is filled with God Himself, His Humanity and Divinity. She is His resting place.

Here, at her university, let’s ask for her prayers so that we, too, can be reminded that we are God’s house. His “house of gold”.

Happy Easter season! These 50 days are a celebration of Jesus's resurrection and the victory over sin and death! Death is defeated, the King is alive!!!!

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

“O Beauty ever ancient, ever new…”

As we gaze at the beauty of the Basilica, we realize it is God who is Beauty Himself. This beauty is ever ancient yet ever new.

Perhaps, this Lent, we may also gaze at God with fresh eyes & let Him reveal His infinite newness!
