As of today, Notre Dame will require yet ANOTHER round of the vaccine for students. The pandemic ended, but the Covid Regime remains fully intact and detached from reality.
This Lent was spent in anticipation of Christ’s resurrection and Bradley’s entrance into the Catholic Church, so we have much to celebrate this Easter!
