Edward Sorin, CSC It welcomes high school graduates with a seri- ous interest in exploring a vocation as a priest or brother in the Congregation of Holy Cross. With nearly 40 men in formation at Notre Dame, Holy Cross is a growing, international religious commu- nity with 2,000 priests, brothers, and seminarians in 15 countries throughout the world. Old College provides an introduction to religious life and ministry in Holy Cross through participation in daily Eucharist and prayer, service placements, spiri- tual direction, weekly community nights, retreats, and academic preparation, including 24 hours of philosophy. Students can select their own major and tailor the rest of their academic program according to their interests. Old Collegians take all classes with other Notre Dame students and are expected to actively participate in clubs, organizations, and other aspects of campus life. They are also encouraged to spend a semester or year abroad in one of Europe’s premiere college seminaries at the Catholic Univer- sity of Louvain, Belgium. Old College combines a challenging religious formation structure with a complete Notre Dame undergraduate experience. Moreau Seminary, also located on the Notre Dame campus, is the primary formation house for the Con- gregation of Holy Cross in the United States. The one-year Candidate Program is a pre-novitiate year designed for those with a bachelor’s degree in any field who are prepared to discern their readiness for vowed religious life. Candidates typically take nine to 12 hours of philosophy and/or theology credits at the University each semester and have ministry placements supervised by seminary staff. Candidates
