          The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades has designated Friday (Oct. 5) as a Diocesan Day of Prayer and Penance. The University of Notre Dame will join the diocese by praying in solidarity with victims of clergy sexual abuse.

Notre Dame Campus Ministry invites all members of the Notre Dame campus community to participate in activities for this day of prayer, including Eucharistic Adoration in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart from noon to 5 p.m., and listening as the Basilica bells ring in solidarity with victims from 3 to 3:15 p.m.

“I invite everyone and all our parishes, schools and institutions,” said Bishop Rhoades, “to observe this day of dedication to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, praying and fasting for the victim-survivors of sexual abuse and for their healing, while asking for God’s mercy on the whole Church and for the grace of purification and renewal during this difficult time.”
