A Purdue quarterback transfers to Notre Dame to become a priest.

That's quite the story.

And it's the real true life story of Father Thomas Haan.

Haan was a standout quarterback at Lafayette Central Catholic and walked on to the football team as a quarterback. After leaving the team following a change in the QBs coach, Haan received THE call. He transferred to Notre Dame and eventually became a priest.

He now serves as the pastor at St. Louis de Montfort Catholic Church in Fishers, Indiana.

You won't want to miss this excellent conversation in this week's Focus on Faith.

Sports Michiana is a digital sports broadcasting company based in South Bend, Indiana.

The day before helping Notre Dame win a College Football playoff game over Indiana, Irish special teams coach Marty Biagi became a dad to twins.

As the Irish sang the Alma Mater on the field, he called his dad who listened in from home. Hours later, Marty's dad passed away.

Stephen Biagi was a Notre Dame alum. He gave his son his Notre Dame jacket to wear to the playoff game. Marty did and continued wearing it until the national championship game.

Stephen and his mom met at Notre Dame. Same for Marty's grandparents and his brother and sister-in-law. Notre Dame is a big deal for the Biagi Family.

As is faith. Faith kept things together for Marty and so did his love of family.

We hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation about faith, family and football with Marty Biagi.

Sports Michiana is a digital sports broadcasting company based in South Bend, Indiana.

On the September 1st, 2025 edition of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Football Fix, host Angelo Di Carlo sits down with Irish defensive lineman Junior Tuihalamaka in our Focus on Faith interview.

Tuihalamaka was low man on the depth chart in 2024 at defensive end but instead of transferring like many would, he stuck it out because of his faith and because of his love for Notre Dame. Injuries gave him the chance to play and he proved to be a major reason the Irish made a run to the national championship game.

Enjoy this conversation about faith, family and football.

Sports Michiana is a digital sports broadcasting company based in South Bend, Indiana.

On the August 25th, 2025 edition of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Football Fix, host Angelo Di Carlo sits down with Christian Gray to discuss the Irish cornerback's incredible faith story.

Gray made the interception that led to the game winning field goal to send Notre Dame to the national title game last year. He immediately pointed to the heavens upon doing so. He doesn't remember any of it though and shares how he feels it was the Holy Spirit taking control.

Gray suffered hardship with his dad passing away when Christian was a young kid. That didn't deter Christian from developing a strong faith that continues to this day including reading the bible each day and sending notes to his mom about his thoughts on what he read.
