Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C.

One of Notre Dame's all-time greats -- FATHER TED -- died late last night at the age of 97.

It's being reported that Fr. Ted celebrated his last Mass at 11:30 AM ET yesterday morning with his family -- he left for Heaven exactly 12 hours later...

As Fr. John Jenkins, C.S.C. wrote in his email to the Notre Dame family early this morning:

"He is now with Our Lady, whose university he served so well, and with the Lord." 

Father Ted's funeral Mass will be this Wednesday, March 4th at 2:00 PM ET at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
