Hoops, Hope, and Holiness, with Fr. Pete McCormick, C.S.C.

 Everybody at Notre Dame knows Fr. Pete. He’s the director of campus ministry, who’s responsible for leading a team that cares for the spiritual needs of our student body. He lives in a Notre Dame residence hall, where about 250 young men share life – and pranks – together. He’s the chaplain of the Notre Dame men’s basketball team, where he helps guide student-athletes through the privilege and challenges of balancing very busy lives. He’s even the sometimes-DJ for campus events, including live on College Game Day when the show visited campus a couple years ago. But at the heart of it all, he is a Holy Cross priest, dedicated to his prayer and ministry, and to his religious community in the Congregation of Holy Cross.

Fr. Pete and I have been close friends for over 20 years. He joins me today to talk about ministry to our students, chaplaincy to the basketball team, his own vocation, and being fully alive.
