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.

relics of the saints

pretty sure there is a dead guy in here

one man attempt to make pipe smoking cool again

pretty sure my grandparents had one of these in their house

know for sure Grandma and Grandpa Kuchar had a statue very much like this one in the pool room

possibly the remains of a baby martyr

plastic mannequin of baby martyr

touchdown Jesus
