Loyola-Chicago is back in the NCAA Tournament, which means more attention will be showered on the beloved Sister Jean. However, Notre Dame has its own spiritual leader accompanying it on its own tournament journey. The Rev. Peter McCormick, the Irish’s team chaplain, has long been associated with the program. With the program’s first March Madness in five years upon it, it only made sense for the Irish to celebrate one final Mass before taking the court in the single-elimination tournament:
Catholics who attend Mass regularly will notice that this one is taking place in a simple setting with chairs and a little table. Despite this, none of it matters as long as the message gets across. Plus, the Irish are lucky to have this opportunity to worship at a time when there is a great humanitarian crisis happening overseas. There are people out there who have nowhere to go and gladly would take this setting.
