In the province of Mayenne, at the little village of La Roche in the commune of Ahuillé, there lived a gentleman farmer, Julian Sorin de la Gaulterie, and his wife, Marie Anne Louise Gresland de la Margalerie. Edward Frederick Sorin was the seventh of their nine children. He was born on the 6th of February, 1814. 
 
In celebration of Father Sorin’s birthdate, Notre Dame Food Services is presenting a menu highlighting foods that were indigenous to the area of France where he was born and serving authentic dishes Sorin actually attended during his tenure as the first president and founder of the University of Notre Dame.
 
Please join us for this special dinner in North or South Dining Hall on February 6th.
