Pontifical Institute Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center Welcome to the Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center, a Vatican-owned pilgrims’ center steps from the Old City. We look forward to welcoming you.

Stay, dine, explore, and discover a place through hospitality, the Notre Dame Experience, breathtaking views, fine dining, and unforgettable moments. Founded in 1888 to welcome pilgrims to the Holy Land, the Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center is a Vatican-owned Christian center located just steps from the New Gate of the Old City. Entrusted to the Vatican in 1978 and administered by the Legionaries of Christ since 2004, Notre Dame serves religious, cultural, charitable, educational, and hospitality purposes while supporting the local Christian community and fostering Christian unity in the Holy Land. More than a place to stay, Notre Dame is a destination where faith, hospitality, culture, and discovery come together. Guests can enjoy comfortable accommodations, the renowned Rooftop Restaurant, Notre Dame Bistro, the Dining Room, conference and event spaces, and the John Paul II Auditorium. Visitors can also explore the Notre Dame Experience, including the Pentecost Room, the Shroud Exhibit, and the 360° Lookout, offering unique opportunities to encounter the history, spirituality, and beauty of Jerusalem. Whether you are a pilgrim seeking to deepen your faith, a traveler discovering the Holy Land, or a local guest enjoying our facilities, Notre Dame offers a welcoming space for rest, reflection, encounter, and renewal in the heart of Jerusalem.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus Returns to Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center!

Discover the story behind our new Sacred Heart sculpture and the devotion it seeks to renew in the heart of Jerusalem.

As Notre Dame prepares to bless a new statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we reflect on the meaning of this devotion, its place in the spirituality of Regnum Christi, and its historic connection to the Center through the former Sacred Heart Chapel.

As a Pontifical Institute at the service of the Church in the Holy Land, the Pontifical Institute Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center was honored to welcome Sister Simona Brambilla, Prefect of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, and Sister Tiziana Merletti during their visit to Jerusalem.

On June 2, Notre Dame hosted an evening that brought together consecrated men and women from across the Holy Land for reflection, dialogue, and prayer, followed by the celebration of the Holy Eucharist presided over by Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve as a place of encounter, communion, and support for the religious communities of the Holy Land.
