Celebrate the Feast Day of St. Luke, patron saint of artists, in the Mary, Queen of Families Chapel on Friday, October 18, from 9:30–10:00 a.m. Led by Fr. Martin Lam Nguyen, C.S.C., professor of studio art at Notre Dame, this opportunity to worship amidst site-specific installations offers an opportunity to reflect on the connection between liturgy and the arts. This Mass will be particularly significant, as the Mary, Queen of Families Chapel houses relics of St. Luke. Following the Mass, we will offer a ten-minute guided exploration of a work of art on view featuring themes connected to the life and mission of St. Luke. Seating will be on a first come, first served basis. https://raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu/visit/events/2024/10/18/mass-in-the-em-mary-queen-of-families-chapel-em/
