Please join all of us at Notre Dame to congratulate our 2022 Ave Maria award recipients, who will be honored at a special ceremony on Saturday, May 7, 2022! These alumni truly exemplify what it means to be “Faithful, Loyal and True” for life! Each of their stories has the mission of Notre Dame woven into it. Each of their journeys are different, but their Catholic foundation is a common thread. We are grateful to them for carrying on the proud Notre Dame legacy through their example and through service to Notre Dame and their communities.
