As Alabama and Notre Dame prepare to face each other in college football's Bowl Championship Series, both teams will also have the chance to spiritually prepare for the big game.
Father Gerald Holloway, who has been the pastor at the parish attached to the University of Alabama for nine years, explained to CNA that he says Mass for the Catholic members of the team before every game.
Alabama and Notre Dame will play their championship game on Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time in Miami, Fla. Notre Dame is ranked number one, and Alabama is number two. If Alabama can win the game, it will be the first team to win consecutive Bowl Championship Series.
Alabama has won two of the last three national championships for college football, and Notre Dame has not won the championship since 1988.
