It's not too late to begin asking questions and considering options. It's not too late to get involved in experiences through Campus Ministry and the Center for Social Concerns which could ultimately affect the direction of your life, and certainly your character. It would be a great shame if we walked away from this place without getting at the most important questions of life.

Not only because such a choice would most assuredly enhance your days here, but because of its poten­ tial to greatly transform the life that you will live beyond this place.

Sunday, October 10 Mass There are ample opportunities to get involved even now, whether it be in areas 8:00a.m. of local service, or the urban plunge, or the Appalachian, Washington or Rev.

Thomas G. Streit, C.S.C. Campus Ministry. It's not over yet. Vespers Sunday, September 19 The second thing that I would encourage you to do is to throw wide the possibilities for your future. As you discern the next year or two of your 7:15p.m. life, you have the luxury of considering opportunities that will, later, probably Rev. Peter D. Rocca, C.S.C. not be available to you. The opportunities for a year or two of service are STEPAN CENTER many. You will find many valuble resources on this campus: the Center for - Social Concerns, the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), Holy Cross Saturday, October 2 Mass Associates, and even Campu3-Ministry which will again offer a year-long 45 min. after the game. internship for two recent Notre Dame graduates. Even beyond a year or two of Rev. Richard V. Warner, C.S.C. service, this is the time for those of you who have long considered, if only casu­ ally, religious life or priesthood to consider a year to try it out and to enter into Scripture Readings structured discernment about one of the most important dedsions of your life.
