Throughout the centuries, art has been a medium through which many have experienced and come to know about God. You are invited to an evening to encounter the God of Hope through the arts of music and painting. On own pilgrim journeys to the Kingdom of Heaven, God often uses art to speak to us and restore us to hope. Through the art of artist Ana Mancini and the music and theological reflections of Dr. Christina Labriola, you are invited to consider how might discover the hope of Jesus’ love in the Sacred Heart through music and art. Free Admission – All are Welcome!
