Sycamore Trust: Fighting for the Catholic Identity of Notre Dame

The Sycamore Trust, a non-profit organization devoted to defending and enhancing Catholic identity at the University of Notre Dame, has:

1. Unveiled a new website

2. Initiated a new fundraising campaign. Information here.

The Sycamore folks did a great job during the Obama commencement controversy, and I am sure they would welcome any support you can offer.

Despite the negative attention ND has received recently, there is a lot of good happening on campus as well (although more at the grassroots level than upper administration). There are many student groups on campus fighting the good fight, and there are some solid faculty remaining on the staff. I am particularly encouraged by the new pro-life initiative, the Notre Dame Fund to Protect Human Life (information on this exciting initiative can be found here).

Now is not the time to give up on Notre Dame. A lot of awareness and momentum was created this past Spring regarding the problems at Notre Dame. Let us keep the pressure on and not let the momentum built in the spring fade away!!!

Also, I have created a Facebook group, "Pro-Life Alumni and Friends of the University of Notre Dame." If you are on Facebook, please join the group to show your support! Join here.
