Is there a real Catholic presence at ND?

Though catholic colleges welcome those of all religions and there are many beliefs among the students, you cannot escape the signs that you are at a catholic school and that many if not most of the kids were raised as catholics. For someone who has been very close and devoted to another religion, it could be an issue. For most kids (that I know) who do not feel that close to their own religions, it is not a problem. However, I do know many Jewish families that are not comfortable with sending their kids to catholic schools and left them off the list. Though they may not be considered or consider themselves particularly religious, they prefer to have a school with a strong Hillman (?) presence and not a clear Christian bias, including that of Catholicism.
