Junior Blessing: A Time-Honored Tradition

Students celebrating Junior Blessing

Campus Ministry, class moderators and families gathered to celebrate and bless the Notre Dame Class of 2026 Pink & Teal Stingrays’s journey of growth, spirituality and impactful leadership during the annual Junior Blessing. This time-honored tradition reflects on what students have learned about St. Julie Billiart, recalling the Hallmarks of a Notre Dame de Namur Learning Community and recognizing how the students have embraced leadership roles on our campus and in the community. It connects to Notre Dame traditions while celebrating these young leaders as they continue on a powerful path. Congratulations to the Class of 2026 on reaching this milestone moment.
