TWO OR THREE times a year, St. Dominic’s Convent, Stone, Staffordshire, hosts a St Thomas Aquinas Study Weekend. These weekends focus on an aspect of our Catholic Faith, on what it means to be human, for example; or on the Passion of Our Lord, or the faith of Our Lady.
Studio seen from outside
ON Sunday 18th November we had the official opening of Sr Marie's new studio, with a blessing by Fr Dominic White o.p. Fr. Dominic preached on the imprtance of art in preaching, as a medium that will touch hearts when words no longer function. He then blessed the studio, concluding with a prayer adaptedd from a section of John Paul II's Letter to artists We all enjoyed the beautiful exhibition of Sr Marie's photographic art.
The studio will be one of those taking part in the 'open studios' event in Cambridge on November 25th and December 2nd between 2,00-7.00 pm. at 153 Huntingdon Rd Cambridge. All welcome!
