Notre Dame's Mass @ St. Patrick's Cathedral

Ran across this news report from NY1 on Notre Dame's Mass yesterday morning at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Midtown Manhattan.  You'll enjoy the interview of the members of "The Notre Dame Family" as they leave the Cathedral after Mass.  A standing room only crowd of more than 2,400 packed St. Patrick's for the Mass.  Please note -- the ND GO IRISH BLOG is reporting that University of Notre Dame President, Fr. John Jenkins -- did not change his name to "Ron Jenkins" while in NYC this weekend!
