Rev. Gregory Haake, C.S.C., was appointed religious superior of the Holy Cross priests and brothers at Notre Dame in 2024. Fr. Haake is associate professor of French and Francophone Studies in the Department of Romance Languages & Literature. He works at the intersection of literature, politics, and religion in sixteenth-century France. His current research focuses on the image of the stranger and how its use––and the reaction to it––helped to form and shape French identity in the early modern period and beyond.
Fr. Haake earned his undergraduate and master of divinity degrees from Notre Dame, as well as an M.A. from Middlebury College and a Ph.D. from Stanford University. Ordained a priest in 2007, he joined Notre Dame's faculty in 2015. As he takes on his role as Superior, he will continue to also serve as a priest-in-residence with the Fisher Hall community.
