Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
Who stand by night in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hands to the holy place, and bless the Lord.
(Psalm 134:1-2)
The Chapels of Notre Dame celebrates the university's unique identity as a Catholic academic community where faith is treasured and a life of worship and prayer is seen as a hallmark of education. This stunning, large-format collection of over two hundred full-color photographs brings to life the fifty-seven chapels located throughout Notre Dame's beloved campus, many of which are tucked away in little-known settings waiting to be discovered by readers of this volume for the first time.
At Notre Dame, chapels are found in a number of academic buildings and in every residence hall. Mass is celebrated daily in some of these halls during term, and it is not uncommon to see students and staff stopping in them for moments of quiet meditation and prayer. The Chapels of Notre Dame captures these sanctuaries, as well as the older chapels, the apsidal chapels of the Basilica, and the Congregation of Holy Cross chapels. The text, by well-known Notre Dame professor Lawrence S. Cunningham, provides a picture of the worship in these chapels along with reflections on their traditions, history, architecture, and the artworks that adorn them. His brief descriptions evoke a powerful sense of presence, worship, and prayer.
Matt Cashore's dramatic photographs include the campus landscape, interiors and exteriors of the chapels, and people worshipping in varied seasons, lighting, and moods. His photographs offer fresh ways to view the charming sloped roof of All Souls Chapel, the large collection of relics assembled from the days of Father Sorin in the Reliquary Chapel in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the Holy Cross Chapel in the new Stinson-Remick Engineering Hall, the striking stained glass windows in the Moreau Seminary Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the unique chapels in each of the residence halls.
For alumni who have participated in baptisms, weddings, anniversary celebrations, prayer services, and other liturgical rites on campus, The Chapels of Notre Dame will not disappoint. Prospective students, members of the Notre Dame family, and friends and supporters who have seen the university only from a distance will get an inside view of one of the most beautiful campuses in the world and a unique, contemplative side of Notre Dame.
Lawrence S. Cunningham is the John A. O'Brien Professor of Theology (emeritus) at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author and editor of twenty-five books, including A Brief History of Saints.
