beauty

Beauty reflects the glory and creativity of God, drawing people into a deeper sense of reverence, wonder, and worship. Beauty in architecture, music, art, and liturgy serves as a tangible expression of the divine, directing us beyond the material world to the transcendent. It engages the senses, nurtures the soul, fosters community, and invites even the unchurched to encounter something greater than themselves. By cultivating beauty, St. Francis not only honors its rich historical tradition but also participates in God’s ongoing work of renewal and redemption in the world.
