Description
Every year, thousands of people pilgrimmage to South Bend, Indiana to visit the campus of the University of Notre Dame for sporting events, academic conferences, or just for a tour. From the Golden Dome on top of the main building, to the grotto hidden behind the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, to the mural of "Touchdown Jesus" that covers the wall of the Hesburgh Library, the structures and architecture of the campus hold special meaning for these visitors. In Signs of Grace Father Nicholas Ayo, C.S.C., a Holy Cross priest and a professor in the Program of Liberal Studies at Notre Dame explores some of the places on the cmapus made famous by television and movies, such as 1993's "Rudy." But he also delves deep into the hidden or unknown areas of campus that even some students may never have seen. His thoughtful and spiritual musings are the perfect guide to a campus tour or just as a vivid picture of the spiritual place that is Notre Dame.
