Start a Great Career with a Great Purpose!
Notre Dame Catholic Church is located in Clarendon Hills, IL and is committed to the New Evangelization. When our pastor, Fr. Mark Bernhard, arrived at Notre Dame one year ago, he shared two deeply held convictions: first, the world is crying out—hopelessness and confusion are on the rise; secondly, there is transformative power in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus wants to use Notre Dame to rescue people! Through parish renewal and primacy of evangelization, Notre Dame will be a hub for people to have a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. We are a Parish of choice!
