The location is very near where Jesus was born, and students marked the occasion by singing "Silent Night" there. The video is included in Living Stones, a longform story about the University of Notre Dame at Tantur, which is located between Jerusalem and Bethlehem.

Campus NewsSt. Michael’s to operate from one location
Beginning Thursday, Jan. 2, St. Michael’s Laundry will operate exclusively from its main plant on St. Joseph Drive, near the Notre Dame Federal Credit Union. The laundry’s distribution center, which faces the St. Liam parking lot, will close this Friday, Dec. 20, due to fewer customers using the location. Customers will find it easier to park at the main plant, which is open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. (See map, which shows the 1/4 mile distance from the St. Liam lot location and the main plant.) Anyone with questions may email Larose Saint Jean, director of St. Michael’s Laundry.
