Homecoming Weekend
April 21-23, 2017
Dear Holy Cross Alumni: We are excited to host Homecoming Weekend at Holy Cross College. We are thrilled for you to return to campus April 21-23, 2017 to participate in events both at Holy Cross and in the Michiana community. These events provide opportunities to spend time with your friends, other alumni, current students, as well, as faculty and staff. The weekend will consist of an opening reception where you can chat with other alumni, faculty, staff, and Brother John Paige. There will be a chance to spend time off campus with alumni to catch up on each other’s lives and to reminisce. You can enjoy a continental breakfast on campus Saturday morning, as well as, take part in the Cross Campus 5K Race or 1K Family walk. Later in the morning, Brother James Leik will share some history about Holy Cross as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the college. This is a session you will not want to miss, especially since Brother James was here on the first day that the college opened. There will also be a Homecoming tailgate on the O’Connor Commons followed by the Notre Dame Blue and Gold Game, carriage rides around campus, a cooking demonstration and even a Wine & Paint event where you can paint one of Holy Cross’ iconic images. You can also enjoy time with friends exploring the tri-campus community or the Michiana area. The possibilities are endless! In the evening is mass followed by dinner in the Pfeil Center hosted by Brother John Paige. The weekend ends with brunch in the Siegfried Dining Hall.

See you in April! Sincerely,
JudeAnne Hastings Director of Alumni and Parent Programs
