LaPetiteSoeur Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) The Congregation of Saint Joseph has something called "Ministry of the Arts," which includes written, visual, and musical arts created by Sisters. I love their music and much of their visual art (especially depictions of St. Joseph) are beautiful and depict diverse visions of Joseph http://ministryofthearts.org They partner with local prisons to donate calendars with religious quotes and readings to women in prison; these have been quite helpful to the women and have lifted their spirits.

marigold Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Haha, I can make publicity for my favorite monk-artist :D Dom Robert was a benedictine monk in l'abbaye Saint Benoît d'En Calcat. He made painting : http://www.domrobert.com/les-aquarelles_29.php (my favorites are the last virgin and "Heurtebise") and tapestry : http://www.domrobert.com/les-tapisseries_28.php (I love "La création de l'homme" and "Magnificat"). He said : "It is by circumstances that I made tapestry, it is by call that I entered monastery, and it is by birth that I draw" Those tapestries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
