When in South Bend

While my feelings about the “high church” elements of Catholicism are complicated, I love historical buildings, college campuses and all things Jed Bartlet so when I discovered a work meeting was being held 5 minutes from the Notre Dame campus, I knew a short visit was in order.  Here are the “totally don’t do the place justice” photos I took on my visit.
