In honor of our beloved Blessed John Paul II, we have dedicated a day to his vision for Art, Culture and Beauty. 
It is a day in which we seek to uplift the culture through art and beauty,
just as John Paul II desired to do.  

The event features:

• Culinary Arts (i.e. delicious food)

• Visual Arts (graphics, painting, drawing, photography, etc.)

• Performance Arts (plays, music, etc.)

The slideshow below features pictures of last year's event.
There are prizes awarded for the winners in each category.
