Steds gathering...

Fr. Ralph with Steds mom...

... in the West. Thanks to the hospitality of Mike and Alice Flynn, ND grads and parents of Stedsman Mike Flynn '12, the Steds family in Southern California gathered at the Flynn home. Enjoying refreshing beverages, margaritas, and Californian specialities, tacos, and of course, great company- the extended Steds family- a great time was enjoyed by all. 

On the gathering, Dana Maas, mom of Stedsman Davin Mass, shared, "We recently gathered at the gracious home of Alice and Mike Flynn, celebrating the cherished summer tradition of Father Ralph's California visit to Queen of Angels Church. Under Father Ralph's compassionate leadership, the young men of St. Edwards Hall are not just students; they are family, bound by the nurturing spirit of Notre Dame. We are immensely blessed to be part of this community, where faith and family are the cornerstones of our collective journey. Father Ralph’s dedication reminds us all of the enduring values that make Notre Dame not just a place of learning, but a home!"

... and having a great time!
