"If all men fail me, there
is one treasury that is
always full, and from
which, when all is
exhausted, I can draw. That is the
treasury of Our Most Holy Lady.
That afternoon, when we first set
foot on this land, we went on our
knees in the snow and placed our
confidence in her. In the darkest
hours of our need, in the moments
of deepest discouragement, I have
called on her for help. Never once
has she failed."
She never has, and she has had your help
along the way.
From its first days, Our Lady's University
has benefited from countless acts of faith
and generosity. And for the past 37 years,
you and other members of the Sorin
Society have made a remarkable difference
for Notre Dame.
The selfless gifts you make to Notre Dame
through the Sorin Society are invaluable;
they provide direct and immediate benefits
to our students in so many ways, and allow

the University's leaders to address urgent
needs or unexpected challenges whenever
and wherever they arise.
When you make gifts to Notre Dame
through the Sorin Society, we know you
are placing your faith in the University to
use it wherever it is most truly needed.
For that, we are especially grateful, for
your gifts not only enhance the Notre
Dame experience for our students, but
also advance the mission and vision of
the University.
We thank you for your generosity—and
the profound impact it has on Our Lady's
University and our students, not only
today, but forever.
Your gifts not only
enhance the Notre
Dame experience for
our students, but also
advance the mission
and vision of Our
Lady's University.
