Project Pulchra


[First of all, let it be stated, let it be known that we don’t really know what we’re doing.

If we waited until we knew all there was to know, and until we knew what we were doing, we would never start. And we need to start.

The only thing we really need to know here is that the Holy Spirit knows what He’s about. Come, Holy Spirit!]

“You are the custodians of beauty: thanks to your talent, you have the opportunity to speak to the heart of humanity, to touch individual and collective sensibilities, to call forth dreams and hopes, to broaden the horizons of knowledge and of human engagement.” – Pope Benedict XVI

Welcome to Project Pulchra!

This is a place to share our thoughts and ideas about connecting our faith with the arts and the arts with our faith, thereby enriching and revolutionizing culture. The hope is to gather together and unite everyone who is passionate about proclaiming Jesus Christ and witnessing to His beauty, truth and goodness.

We also hope to be able to compile some sort of database of resources and initiatives which other people have already been doing in the area of faith, arts and culture. If you see something amazing happening out there, especially if you’re involved in it, please share!

All are encouraged to read, comment on and share in this dialogue! If you are interested in contributing to the Project Pulchra blog, please e-mail projectpulchra@gmail.com

"Still, I cannot glorify myself. See how this evening the tree-tops are gilded by the setting sun. So likewise my soul appears to you all shining and golden because it is exposed to the rays of Love. But should the Divine Sun no longer shine thereon, it would instantly be sunk into gloom." - St. Therese of Liseux

That was a keeper. Nice find! Story of a Soul?

I found it somewhere online. Don't know exactly what it was from, and I've had trouble finding it since. But yes, absolutely, a keeper!!
