Blessing to Open the New Children’s Playground 9-8-12

Posted on by

On Saturday, September 8 at 2:00 PM, before the Purdue game, we will have a Blessing to officially open the new children’s playground at the Irish Green. It is located on the east side of the DPAC. We will recognize the donors, Bill (ND ’71) and Mary Anne Litgen.   (Another family, the Cressys, were instrumental in the playground but I don’t think they will be there.) This will be a brief ceremony of about 15 minutes or so. If you are in the area or at the Development tailgater, please stop by. Also, for those with young children, it would be great to bring them along for the Blessing…and to test out the equipment!

The plaque at the playground honoring the Litgens recites the Biblical passage from Luke 18:16:   But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”                                           

Thank you for your help.

  1. My son has already ‘tested’ the playground. He can wholeheartedly attest to how great it is! Thank you to the Litgens!

  2. This is a great addition to campus. Thank you, Al, and to the Litgen and Cressy families.
