Notre Dame Club of Phoenix

We’re making it easier for undergraduate students from all backgrounds to access a Notre Dame education through Pathways to Notre Dame.

First announced by Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., at his inauguration in 2024, the program will now help provide most students from families making:

- Students and families with typical assets and annual income below $60,000: tuition, fees, housing, and food covered

- Students and families with typical assets and annual income below $150,000: financial aid meeting or exceeding tuition

- Students and families with typical assets and annual income below $200,000: financial covering half of tuition

These measures reflect our ongoing commitment to ensuring that talented students and their families have greater clarity and confidence as they consider a Notre Dame education.

On this feast of St. Patrick, patron of Ireland, we pray that we might always honor our University's Irish heritage and keep our connection with the people of the Emerald Isle strong. Together as the Fighting Irish we say: St. Patrick, pray for us!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The reveal is coming! On April 24, Notre Dame unveils THE SHIRT 2026 — the iconic game day tradition worn by Irish fans everywhere.

Our club is opening early presale access, so you can lock in yours before the season begins.

Hearts & Hands Event 🫶

Club members & family spent a few hours this morning at the St. Vincent de Paul Center getting crafty & helping in the kitchen with food prep.

We made 40 bunny Easter baskets (the first time we have made anything like it) and 38 thank you cards for Safeway & Albertsons who are hosting the food drive for SVdP Feed Our Starving Neighbors initiative (see link in bio for more info on how to participate in the drive or donate).

One of our club members chose to help out in the kitchen with some food prep, and other volunteers also helped sort through donations from Starbucks. It's not often we have other projects other than the cards, so it was nice to see the options available this time, and that our members could decide how they wanted to spend the time serving.

This is our monthly service event, so if you missed it today email [email protected] to get in for the next one on April 11th (it's taking place the 2nd weekend of the month due to Easter).

Thank you to everyone who joined us today, and we look forward to having more of you in April! 🫶

Pickleball Social
February 15, 2026

Club members, family, & friends gathered together on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for some networking, camaraderie, & connection at D**k & Dine.

Some members spent time getting lessons while others rotated playing games on the other court, and we also got to have some delicious food & drinks while enjoying the beautiful weather.

Shoutout to Amy (Networking) & Julia (YA) for organizing this awesome event and for hosting us! Special thank you to Missy & Judy for teaching us and facilitating the matches on the court. It was a wonderful way to spend a few hours with fellow alumni, and those of us who took lessons will definitely feel more confident joining in at public courts in the future!

Hearts and Hands 🫶
February 7, 2026

Club members, friends, and family started their weekend off with our monthly service event at the St. Vincent de Paul Center. We made 77 Valentine's Day cards and 84 New Job cards for the guests of the center!

It may seem small or insignificant, but these cards are cherished by the guests as it helps them feel seen, valued, and loved. The new job cards are going to guests who are part of the workforce development program, which helps hundreds of individuals gain living-wage employment, and the cards help celebrate their achievement and the new hope the jobs bring!

Thank you to everyone who came out to spend their Saturday morning with us! We had a great time, and we look forward to having more members, friends, and family join us next month! We participate in this event the 1st Saturday of the month, so if you're interested in joining us next month, email [email protected]!
