Peter Breen | Friday, May 19, 2023

Every generation has had its fair share of challenges to hearing and answering God’s call, Fr. John DeRiso, vocations director for the Congregation of Holy Cross, said. DeRiso said more men and women on Notre Dame’s campus are considering entering religious life than people would think. “Christ is ever young. The message of the Gospel

Called and chosen: Vocation in Frozen II

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, February 13, 2020

I’m grateful for Professor Legarre’s recent letter to the editor and for the important conversation it begins on the question of vocation. I’d like to offer, though, in charity and out of my own discernment (and love of “Frozen II”), a response to the piece and what it might mean for God to call us. The

Some thoughts on vocation, ‘Frozen II’

Letter to the Editor | Friday, February 7, 2020

What is it to have a vocation? What is it to be called to celibate life, to marriage or to singledom? Relatedly, how does one know if one is called to be a lawyer, a doctor or an artist? The verb “to be called” and the noun “vocation” (from the Latin verb “vocare,” meaning “to

Answer the call

Erin Thomassen | Thursday, March 9, 2017

I did not go to last weekend’s SUB movie “Moana” expecting to see a cartoon musical about what it means to be a saint. From the very beginning of the film, however, it was clear that “Moana” is not just a coming-of-age female empowerment tale with a few catchy songs. It is the portrayal of

Finding writing unexpectedly

Alex Carson | Thursday, March 9, 2017

In many ways, I’m not all that much different as a 21-year-old than I was as a 13-year-old. Like I did then, I still obsessively follow sports, still enjoy a good math problem and will all too often draw stuff on graph paper in class, just as I did eight years ago. Hell, my friends and I

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
