iinrr 1 anas •by moggie clarke By the time mid-semester break rolls around, most Notre Dame students are looking forward to a relaxing week, full of mom ' s cooking, catching up with old friends, and sleep... lots of sleep. Many students, however, forgo the trip home and choose an alter- nate plan for their week off; it is one that will greatly impact the lives of many people. Through the University ' s Appalachia Pro- gram, students get the chance to meet new people and fomi strong friendships with them, while helping those who lack the resources to help themselves. The program is offered through the Notre Dame Center for Social Concerns and provides participants with one credit in Theology.

COIP ' by timothy kuhn The tradition of dorm mass will never go out of style, be- cause Notre Dame students love to pray hard. Each Sunday night, students take a break from their busy schedules to reflect on the past week and thank God for the gifts that they have been given. Dorm communities gather like famihes to worship through word and action. Voices sing songs of praise and thanksgiving, while hearts offer prayers of hope and love. Friends greet each other with smiles and use this time to catch up with those they might not have seen in awhile. The liturgies themselves are quite beautiful.
