.vrf »-- I I il ' -r i£- mMitm on Campus Wiile every- Ddiiier addresses die Virgin Mary each time they utter the words Nutre Dame, tew stop to reflect on this central aspect of the university on a il;uly basis. At a school named for Our Lidy, Ccunpus kmdmarks ;ind student life icflcct the commitment to spirituiJity that thrives at Notre Dame. Prospective students and tourists marvel at the Ixrauty of the Basilica, light ciindles and kneel lor prayer at the C}rotto, and admire Touchdown Jesus on the side of the library. Students, however, ha ' e a much more intimate experience of religious life around campus. From distinctive chapels in each domi to the countless Emmaus groups, retreats, and unique faidi-based opportunities that abound, students have access to a wide array of choices satisfying their spiritual needs. Donn masses provide the cornerstone of spirituality for most students, but many supplement this Sunday-night Eucharist with weekly masses, Bible sharing groups, or theology classes. Non-Catholic students deepen and expkjte their spiriuialitv- in Interfaith programs, Iron Sharpens Iron, and Four:?. Special celebrations, such as Spanish-language masses, Dillon Hall ' s Milkshake Mass, and retreats designed specifically for female, male, Asian, African -American, and Latino students add to Notre Dame ' s xibtMit religious life. Tlie Center for Social Concerns also aims to cultivate Christian lifestyles among participants through its fall and spring break seminars, summer service projects, one-credit classes, and daily service activities. By stressing the values of Cadiolic Social Teacliing, the CSC hopes to deepen the faith of all students. Nick Dailey, a senior who hiis participated in several service projects over his fall and summer breaks, says, I ' ve found that my faith has grown on Notre Dame ' s campus, not explicidy in a ' go to mass all the time ' sense, but in a way that has taught me to genuinely care about other people and to try to live a Cadiolic lifest ' le. Regardless of religious denomination, a deep concern and compassion for others is instilled into students over their four years at Notre Dame. The number of students who engage in daily volunteer projects and in p(5St-graduate service bears witness to the rich spirituality of the campus. In addition to masses and service, Notre Dame offers more unique, unconventional opportunities for students to explore their faiths. Theology on Tap combines a comfortable setting and relaxed amiosphere with deep theological reflections. Retreats such as NDE and die Scjphomore Road Trip not only bring an individual in closer communion widi their faith hut cAso initiate lasting friendships. Our Lady sits atop the Golden Ctome to invite everyone to celebrate and live out their faith. The Grotto and domi chapels further symbolize die religious dimension of the university ' , but ultimately die power of spirituality on campus lies within each student. Whether becoming involved in Campus Ministry tmd the CHL or merely completing the basic Theology requirement, students are assurcxi that they will never lack one-of-a-kind spiritual opportunities during their rime at Notre Dame.
