For Rev. Edward “Monk” Malloy, C.S.C., president emeritus of Notre Dame and longtime priest-in-residence at Sorin Hall, leadership at Our Lady’s University begins with faith, humility, and service—virtues instilled by his parents and deepened through the mentorship of his dear friend, Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C.

In this episode of For Good, Father Malloy reflects with gratitude and wonder on an extraordinary life of service, sharing his memories of guiding the University through triumphs and tragedies, partnering with the City of South Bend to help renew the local community, and teaching generations of Notre Dame students to be intentional and present with themselves and one another.
