Philosophy...and Thoughts on Liturgical Art

The Church with a faith that is incarnational and sacramental historically has nurtured visual art forms in order to image forth the mystery of Christ and to support the celebration of the sacred rites. Liturgical artists know that beauty is an attribute of the divine. Their best work re-creates God's glory reflected in creation and in the life of Christian communities. Our buildings have always expressed this. From the first house churches in the distant dawn of Christianity to the recent past, every church and chapel was a foreshadowing of the heavenly city.

In our work we strive to carry on this luminous tradition with a vision that is original and contemporary, open to fresh breaths of the Spirit. Quality in both design and execution is most important to us.

As Christians we are truly blessed by God with the whole of creation and our redemption. For the liturgical artist there are worlds without end of radiant color and form waiting to be shaped by the artist's imagination into beautiful images of praise and thanksgiving. Pope Benedict XVI has said: "Christians must not be too easily satisfied. They must make their Church into a place where beauty - and hence truth - is at home."
