2nd Annual International Crèche Display and Pilgrimage, presented by the Institute for Church Life
November 18, 2015 – January 31, 2016: Crèche Display
With a theme this year of “Love Incarnate With Us Dwells,” this annual event contemplates the tenderness of God revealed in the nativity sets on display, inviting families to celebrate the seasons of Advent and Christmas. The thirty-three visual representations from nineteen countries are on display at five locations on the campus of Notre Dame: the Eck Visitors Center, the Morris Inn, the Coleman-Morse Center, Geddes Hall and the Main Building. Booklets and QRs for self-guided tours are available at each location.

The Institute for Church Life invites you to the 2nd Annual Crèche Pilgrimage taking place on December 6 from 2:30 P.M. – 4:00 P.M. Participants will gather at the Eck Visitors Center and journey together to visit the crèche exhibits in the Morris Inn, the Coleman Morse Center and the Main Building. The pilgrimage will be accompanied by prayerful reflection and recitation of the rosary. University of Notre Dame President Fr. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C will welcome the pilgrims to the Main Building with an Advent prayer followed by a blessing. Pilgrims are invited to bring Baby Jesus figures from their home nativity sets to be blessed by Fr. Jenkins. A reception will follow.
