Corby Hall, a sacred site on the University of Notre Dame campus, is the primary residence of the Holy Cross priests and brothers. Built in 1893, it was demolished and rebuilt in 2020. It is named after our third president, Father William Corby. I have painted Father Corby’s most famous moment, immortalized in the statue by Samuel A. Murray, giving absolution to the Irish Brigade during the Battle of Gettysburg, on slate roof tiles salvaged from the 1893 Corby Hall. Please also note that the weathered gray brown wood is made from reclaimed redwood stadium benches: forever uniting “Fair Catch Corby” with Notre Dame stadium.
