... St. Edward's Day! Today, October 13th, is the Feast of St. Edward the Confessor, King of England and patron saint of the Founder... Fr. Edward Sorin, CSC. Since its inception, the University has celebrated this day as "Founder's Day." Back in the day, students had the day off from classes, "iced cream" was served, games were played, and St. Edward's residents sent "congratulatory" cards to Fr. Sorin. Matter of fact, one lucky resident was selected to recite a poem, especially penned for this auspicious day, to Fr. Sorin! All of these poems and well wishes can still be seen today at ND Archives at the Hesburgh Memorial Library. On this special day, Fr. Ralph, Rector of St. Edward's Hall, said, “May St. Edward and the Founder smile on us always!”
ON THIS SPECIAL DAY...
It was announced today that Josh Gambardella ’21 is the 2020-2021 inductee into the Order of Gentlemen, an award given for service to Hall and King.
On learning of his induction, Gambardella said, “Thank you to every single Stedsman who I’ve met along my journey. And of course, I owe a huge thank you to my great friend Father Ralph.”
Congratulations Josh!
