Things To Do
The Grotto
Stop by to light a candle, say a prayer, and take in a few quiet moments. This is one of the most iconic spots on Notre Dame's campus, and Jenna and Elliott spent many moments in prayer here throughout their time in undergrad.
Walsh Hall & Stanford Hall
See where Elliott and Jenna lived all four years at Notre Dame! Jenna lived in Walsh Hall, just a few steps away from the Basilica, and Elliott lived in Stanford Hall across the quad from North Dining Hall. Both of them served as RAs in their dorms as seniors, and they spent many, many hours together in both Walsh and Stanford since they started dating.
Saint Mary's Lake
The lakes on Notre Dame's campus are one of Elliott and Jenna's favorite places for a peaceful stroll. You'll also see gorgeous views of the Golden Dome and Basilica on your walk!
Holy Family Statue
See the spot where we got engaged! This statue, also called the Holy Handoff, can be found on Bond Quad just behind Walsh Hall.
Hesburgh Library
See the famous Touchdown Jesus mural outside, or step inside and visit the 13th floor for panoramic views of campus!
Duncan Student Center
Attached to Notre Dame Stadium, this is where Elliott & Jenna had their first date getting coffee together at Hagerty Family Café! If you need a bite, Duncan Student Center also has several eateries inside, including Chick-Fil-A.
Rocco's Restaurant
A South Bend staple and a fun, casual place to grab some pizza!
Murphy's Ice Cream Shoppe
If you need a sweet treat, Murphy's is just across the street from campus and one of our favorite spots for ice cream!
LaFortune Student Center
Close to the Basilica, this is a great place to stop in and rest, grab a snack from the campus convenience store, or shoot some pool in the basement.
Hammes Bookstore
If you are in need of Notre Dame gear, the bookstore has a huge collection and is a fun place to explore.
O'Rourke's Public House
A Notre Dame classic, O'Rourke's Irish Pub is a great place for a burger and some drinks!
