Mass Pass



As a course assignment for Roman Catholic Life & Thought, our class visited the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of the University of Notre Dame Friday, Nov. 14. We attended Mass and toured the Basilica.

Photos include:

1. The Bell Tower
2. Artistic Ceilings
3. One of the 42 large stained glass windows
4. "Peter" and Pope Benedict XVI
5. View of the Tabernacle (where the "leftovers" of Christ's body are stored after the Eucharist)
6. Confessional
7. The Baptismal Font
8. Entrance view (Holy oils are stored in the glass cabinet on left)
9. The Grotto (The Grotto is a one-seventh replica of the famed French shrine where the Blessed Virgin appeared to Saint Bernadette. Thousands visit the Notre Dame shrine each year to pray and light candles.)
