Convivium Marianum 2023

"A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."
On December 17, for the second year in a row, we held our unique service, Convivium Marianum: A Prayerful Contemplation on the Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Scripture and Song.

The evening included readings from scripture, prayers from the divine office of Marian feasts throughout the year, and an exhortation by Bishop Mark Bartosic, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago and member of the St. Gregory's Hall board of advisors.

The musical program included beautiful works of sacred music spanning centuries and cultures, including works by Hans Leo Hassler, Claudio Monteverdi, anonymous English hymn "There is no Rose," and original compositions by composer-in-residence and choirmaster Kevin Allen.

Workshop Employs Medieval Methods to Illumine Hearts & Minds

PictureArtist-in-residence Sarah Crow showing attendees how to make their own paint using a medieval recipe.
As Catholics, our faith is sacramental: we recognize the relationship between the physical and spiritual reality of our world born out of our awareness that Jesus Christ was both Divine and human. This is why witnessing and creating Sacred Art helps us encounter God.

“Just looking at and praying with art can help us to grow in our faith,” said Sarah Crow, the artist-in-residence at St. Gregory’s Hall.  “By experiencing beauty, we come into relationship with God who is the source and end of all that is good, true, and beautiful.”

Crow said this relationship is not abstract, that our hearts are often deeply moved and softened by beauty to become receptive to God’s mercy.
