This morning, I attended the 9:30 a.m. Mass at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, which celebrated the Commemoration of All Souls, one of the most popular and characteristic Catholic feasts. For this Mass, the rector of the Basilica — Fr. Brian Ching — presided as celebrant, and the Notre Dame Liturgical Choir, along with a small orchestra, performed the famous “Requiem in D Minor” by W. A. Mozart. I have several students who sing in the Liturgical Choir, so I knew that they had been preparing for this day for quite some time. In fact, I had known since my orientation as a new faculty member in August that the Liturgical Choir was planning this great musical work for Nov. 2: Fr. Ching had told me about these plans himself, while the Congregation of Holy Cross warmly welcomed the new faculty into Corby Hall for a lovely reception and dinner. I was impressed by the joyful and collaborative spirit that Fr. Ching exuded when speaking of the work of the Liturgical Choir, and I recognized it as the same kind of spirit I witnessed in his predecessor, the Fr. Peter Rocca, when I worked as a musician at the Basilica myself. “Not much has changed,” I thought to myself, and the warm memories returned.

Marcus Freeman and No. 12 Notre Dame overcame a comedy of errors, including turnovers, penalties and missed kicks to claim the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl over Catholic rival Boston College for the 10th straight time. For the better part of 45 minutes, the Irish appeared inconvenienced to have to share the field with the 1-7 Eagles, who made just as many dumbfounded mistakes as their counterparts. Notre Dame was unable to create separation until star junior running back Jeremiyah Love saved his team and boosted his Heisman candidacy with a 94-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to seal the 25-10 Holy War victory.

Five years ago, the University of Notre Dame’s Film, Television and Theatre Department and Department of Psychology created a new course, “Drunk on Film: The Psychology of Storytelling with Alcohol and its Effects on Alcohol Consumption,” that fulfills students “Ways of Knowing” requirement in their core curriculum. The course informs students on the effects of alcohol on the human brain and body, the portrayal of alcohol in media and how it subconsciously influences the way viewers consume alcohol in real life. It also debunks myths surrounding alcohol such as what normal alcohol consumption looks like compared to drinking on TV and in college culture.

Notre Dame women’s soccer finished their regular season tonight. It’s final record will go down as 13-1-2 and 8-1-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. It’s one loss came in their final game of the regular season against Pittsburgh. The team went into the game ranked No. 1. Regardless of the devastating loss, the Irish played an incredibly impressive season, proving each game that their athleticism, skill and chemistry can compete against any team. No doubt the Irish will come out hungry in the post-season.

1-7 Boston College should pose no threat to a Notre Dame team coming off a bye week, riding a five-game win streak. While a rivalry matchup on the road may have been circled on schedules in the past, the 2025 iteration of the Eagles doesn’t bring much to the table on either side of the ball.

Most sportsbooks afford Love the seventh-best Heisman odds in the nation, giving him far and away the best shot among Notre Dame running backs.

It’s a question asked many times: What movie should I watch on Halloween night? Personally, I like something that matches the vibe of the holiday, a film exuding classic Halloween energy. One may be drawn to the original “Halloween” from 1978. Yes, the film is a great choice for spooky season, but if you want a story about the holiday and not merely set on it, jump ahead a few installments to 1982’s “Halloween III: Season of the Witch.” It’s weird, genuinely scary and severely underrated.
