A sea of uniforms flowed over the downtown San Jose streets as more 700 members of the Notre Dame community of students, faculty and staff made their way to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph, our downtown place of worship, for the first liturgy of the school year. This year’s Mass of Commissioning celebrated the student theme for the year - Engage. The liturgy, presided over by Father Ernesto Orci, included a rite of commissioning where community members proclaimed, “Yes! I promise to engage!”
