Oakland diocese recommends visit to “Splendors of Faith/Scars of Conquest” exhibit as Lenten activity The Diocese of Oakland is recommending a visit to a museum exhibit entitled “Splendors of Faith/Scars of Conquest” as an appropriate Lenten activity “for various parish groups.” The exhibit at the Oakland Museum of California began on Feb. 26 and runs through May 29. According to the museum website, the exhibit features arts from the Missions of Northern New Spain in a “stunning exhibition exploring the rich artistic legacy of the Franciscan and Jesuit mission churches in northern Mexico and the American Southwest. Many of the missions were exuberantly decorated with lavish paintings, sculpture, furniture, and liturgical objects and vestments. This extraordinary exhibition, which originated at the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso (Mexico City), features approximately 110 objects from collections in Mexico, the United States, and Europe -- including masterpieces from the missions themselves -- shown together for the first time.” The website says the Oakland Museum of California is “the only California venue for this internationally traveling exhibition and one of only two venues in the United States.” Read more here: http://www.calcatholic.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?id=16292fbc-c022-4195-b570-27d07c7a9a9d Go to a museum
Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry! Below are two albums of pictures that I created: 1. Our grand daughter Adrianna. 2. Tears of Mary!
