G.K. Chesterton Collection Dedication

The G.K. Chesterton Collection was blessed and dedicated at the London Global Gateway

On October 27, the University of Notre Dame’s London Global Gateway hosted a dedication ceremony to celebrate the acquisition of the G.K. Chesterton Collection, which includes books, personal effects, art and other items related to the life of this renowned 20th-century English Catholic writer, orator, apologist and provocateur.

Led by Notre Dame President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and Aidan Mackey, one of the foremost Chesterton experts who independently compiled the collection, the event began with Mass at St. Patrick’s Church SoHo in London before moving to the London Global Gateway, where the collection was dedicated and blessed, and attendees had the opportunity to engage with some items from the collections.
