It's a short read (under 150 pages), and can easily be purchased online or at most bookstores for $10-13. This will be a great way to begin the Year of Mercy and the Advent season!

Looking for some alum sports fun over the Fall?
Better Off Bowling is a co-ed social bowling league for young professionals that run two separate leagues, one on Sunday afternoons AND another on Tuesday evenings during the Fall (and yes, the NFL games are on the big screen TVs). They have a bunch of young professionals along with a number of other school alum groups and usually have ~400 fun social people in the league. They've contacted us hoping we would be interested in getting a team or two together (does not have to be all alums though). Registration ends mid October, and the league starts rolling Oct 11thfor the Sunday league and Oct 13th for the Tuesday night league!
As Fighting Irish alums, we get $10 off the regular registration price with the discount code: DCALUMFALL15
