Thirty-Four: "Intrepid Spirit': Father Edward Sorin and the Founding of Notre Dame - a podcast by Alex Painter (Onward to Victory)

Pack your bags, Irish fans, we are going on a trip! Let's journey back to the Indiana wilderness back in the mid-1800s and follow a young priest named Father Edward Sorin - who traveled thousands of miles, all to eventually found the University of Notre Dame.

Braving the elements by way of the harshest winter on record, Sorin (a Frenchman whose school would inextricably be connected with the Irish!) courageously defied the odds to stablish a humble school in South Bend, Indiana - starting with a lone log chapel. Discover, blow-for-blow Sorin's journey and Notre Dame's origins in this episode! 

Irish fans, you won't want to miss this one!
