I have found another place I want to be next summer.
A Day for the Lord: A Sign of Contradiction?
June 11 – 13, 2007 at the University of Notre Dame
The thirty-fifth annual conference of the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy will address the relationship between cult and culture by considering what it means to keep a “day holy to the Lord.” What does it mean to take seriously the obligation to keep the Lord’s Day?
Toward that end, our plenary addresses will draw on the five dimensions of the Lord’s Day described in John Paul II’s 1998 apostolic letter, Dies Domini. Each of these headings can be treated as a starting point for considering how keeping the Lord’s Day implies a stance vis-a-vis elements of contemporary culture.

And as if that wasn’t enough, Notre Dame Campus ministry says:
One thing is for sure at Notre Dame: we know how to pray, and we do it well!
Well! I have been looking for someone in London to teach me to pray. No more. I’m off to Indiana.
