Francis Lenox ’88
Weaving threads of love and spirituality, Francis Lenox ’88 completes his mother’s unfinished legacy, supporting the Congregation of Holy Cross.
“Since leaving Notre Dame, I have been a public educator, spent my summers teaching in the Upward Bound program, and have served my church community. My spiritual journey has been full of twists and turns. But if there is one constant throughout my life, it is the lessons of love instilled in me by my family, my ND classmates, and my experiences at Notre Dame.
“As we take the time to slow down in the season of Advent and focus on the people and places that matter most to us, I hope we can begin to see the threads that bind us all together in love no matter the twists or turns or distance between us.”

This is why love conquers all cause love shows us. That third is a deeper meaning on how to live our lives.
So sorry, Francis, to learn about the passing of your mother. She was beautiful in many ways as you are in your spiritual journey. The formation process helped you to discern your calling. Each of these sacred stories are all about how we are here to serve one another as we bring joy into the world.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
Thank You Francis for sharing how your Mom impacted the priests of Notre Dame and you. May we each see and continue to be aware of our experiences of the the threads of love, peace and being fully human and alive that are in us, and all around us. Peace.
