Celebrating...

Dinner at the Smith Family Ballroom...

... Moms. The Gentlemen feted their moms with a Celebration Dinner at the Smith Family Ballroom at the Morris Inn. At the Morris Inn, Moms were treated to appetizers and cocktails with a plated dinner following. Moms also had the opportunity to have their pictures taken with the Steds photo backdrop by a professional photographer is none other than a resident of Steds, Edgardo Rodriquez. And later, when dinner was over, there was more! A magician, a ND undergraduate student, Jake Baum, came and gave a performance that was so good, everyone was left wondering, "How did he do that?!" Sadly, the evening came to end but not after a fabulous evening. On the Celebration Dinner,

No prayers...

Spring cleaning in progress

... today. If you were looking to light a candle at the Grotto, then you would not have been able to. Why? Did it catch on fire again? No. The Grotto just needed some spring cleaning! Really. Leftover leaves from fall and detritus from winter left campus' place of prayer in need of some of real attention and love. So, the Grotto was closed yesterday morning for a thorough top to bottom cleaning. From the Grotto rocks rights down to the stone pavers, every inch of the Grotto was power washed, restoring it to a pristine condition. On the Grotto being cleaned, Fr. Ralph said, "You know, I wouldn't mind if these guys could swing by Steds... have a room or two that could use a good cleaning. Just saying."

A Gentleman ponders...

... was held with Michael Flynn ’82.  Wow! There’s been a lot of pondering going on at Steds this week, and Flynn helped that  to continue. Sharing his thoughts on as a ND grad, lawyer, husband and dad, Flynn delivered an entertaining and insightful reflection that highlighted how everything is intertwined together, especially career, family, and faith. On attending the event, Michael Heffernan, Steds sophomore, Hall President- Elect, and resident Pennsylvanian, shared, “Flynn’s advice gave us insight how to manage faith, family, and career, not only fulfilling our commitments to all three at the same time and but also being the Gentlemen that this world needs!”
