PARISH MISSION
ADORATION AND ART SERIES
Whether it is a painting, film, image, or music, praying with art offers an opportunity to reflect on different subjects, note our feelings, and tap more into the divine. This Art and Adoration series gives us the opportunity to deepen our relationship with Christ with the aid of wonderful art.
The theme this Lent is Sacred vs Secular. Sacred is anything that is set apart for God. Secular is what is in the realm of earthly like, common to all people, and is entrusted to us as stewards of God's creations.
Art & Adoration sessions are in church on the following Wednesday dates starting with Adoration at 6pm and the talk at 7pm:
March 11 – Dr. Kevin Myers, Director of Campus Ministry and the St. Andre Singers, Professor of Liturgy and Sacraments at Holy Cross College - Music as Prayer, not Performance
March 18 – Fr. Matthew Pfeiffer, Pastor of St. Paul Parish in Akron - Architecture: Sacred or Profane
March 25 – Fr. Louis Thomas, Pastor of St. Andrew the Apostle in Norton and Prince of Peace Church in Barberton - Prayer: Hope vs Wishing
