An
estimated 250 students and other members of the campus and local
communities revived a tradition on the Notre Dame campus with
a Eucharistic Procession April 16,2005. Once a yearly event, Eucharistic
processions through campus fell out of practice in the years following
the Second Vatican Council. The tradition's revival reflects a
renewed interest in classical devotions to the Sacrament of the
Eucharist among Notre Dame students. A half-dozen student groups
helped organize the event, which also recognized cultural diversity
through benedictions and altar decorations reflecting Filipino,
European and Latino customs.
