BraveArt

December 11, 2021 | Media

Because of the complications of the past year, Cistercian was unable to celebrate the 25th anniversary of BraveArt on schedule. The exciting news is that BraveArt Workshops are back this year and will occur on Friday, March 4, 2022. As a part of celebrating over 25 years of brave creativity on the Cistercian campus, we also want to celebrate the visual artists in our alumni community. To do that properly, we need to hear from the artists themselves. Please give us an update about your current work by completing the link below by December 10, 2021. Mark your calendars. We are planning an Alumni Art Show in conjunction with the BraveArt Workshops, with an opening reception for alumni and alumni parents on Thursday, March 3, 2022. More details to come! shorturl.at/aoBNW

"Freedom and the rise of contemporary gambling" by Fr. John for The Texas Catholic. Gambling is growing in our country — and quickly. My impression is that we have work to do to be informed about what is happening and to let ourselves be formed by what the Church...

Thy Kingdom Come

The more I reflect on the petitions of the Our Father, the more I’m convinced that I have no idea what I’m praying when I mumble those words multiple times every day.

The current object of my loving mystification is “Thy kingdom come.” In an effort to be slightly less intimidated by this vast and marvelous petition, I will arrange my musings as responses to the time-honored journalistic questions.
