ART & ARCHITECTURE

 

"Very rightly the fine arts are considered to rank among the noblest activities of man's genius, and this applies especially to religious art and to its highest achievement, which is sacred art. These arts, by their very nature, are oriented toward the infinite beauty of God which they attempt in some way to portray by the work of human hands; they achieve their purpose of redounding to God's praise and glory in proportion as they are directed the more exclusively to the single aim of turning men's minds devoutly toward God." -Sacrosanctum Concilium

 

From the dramatic crown suspended in the air above the altar to the large, beautifully colored, stained-glass windows, St. John Vianney Church offers the beauty and reverence to help turn our minds devoutly to God.
