day “I Believe... ” Eucharistic Adoration 11:30 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. ■ by Fr. Gary C ham berland, c .s.c . Basilica of the Sacred Heart Rector, Keenan Hall & Assistant Director, RCIA 807 Mass 8:00 p.m. [NOTE: This column was initially written to appear just before Spring Break] Hammes Student Lounge This past Sunday, nineteen members o f the Notre Dame community joined the Roman Catholic Coleman-Morse Center Church at the 11:45 a.m. Basilica Mass. After the homily, they were called forward and asked to join ROTC Senior Retreat with the assembly in professing the creed. Baptized Christians this served as a reaffirmation of their SB April 12-13 faith. They were then invited to affirm that baptismal faith in the context of the Catholic Church. Moreau Seminary Together they proclaimed, “ I believe and profess all that the holy Catholic Church believes, teaches and proclaims to be revealed by God,” - a bold statement of faith and of confidence by the newest Freshman Retreat #41 members of our faith community.

Their presence calls us to reflect on our own relationship with Monday through Tuesday God and with the Church. 11:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. In fifteen years of working with RCIA programs, I know that it is not an easy journey for those seeking to be Fisher Hall Chapel baptized or those desiring full communion in the Church. There can be a lot of dying to self along the way. Parents and family, though often supportive, do not always understand. The church’s teaching challenges per­ sonal opinions and beliefs about morality, ethics, spirituality and dogma. American individualism meets communitarianism head-on and the clash can be difficult to negotiate. Truly, it is a leap of faith to stand before the gathered assembly and proclaim, “I believe and profess . . .” And it should be, because faith is what it is all about. l i t u r g i e s It was faith that led these men and women to the church in the first place and it is faith that will sustain them ■ Basilica of the Sacred Heart along the road of life.
