“Christian iconography expresses in images the same Gospel message that Scripture communicates by words. Image and word illuminate each other… The contemplation of sacred icons, united with meditation on the Word of God and the singing of liturgical hymns, enters into the harmony of the signs of celebration so that the mystery celebrated is imprinted in the heart’s memory and is then expressed in the new life of the faithful.”
– Catechism of the Catholic Church nos. 1160, 1162
Welcoming Children with Sacred Art
We welcome children to join a community inspired by sacred art through the Catholic liturgical seasons and feasts in a podcast series, “Way of Beauty.” Each podcast episode invites children with their parents, teachers and catechists to journey on the path of beauty with one masterpiece of sacred art related to the liturgical season, feast, signs, gestures and prayers. Each episode ends with discussion questions for children in family, parish and school communities to lead them to worship and prayer. The sacred art podcast is hosted by Dr. Jem Sullivan, associate professor, School of Theology and Religious Studies.
