Perhaps a Roman Holiday to treat yourself to something wonderful is not accessible to you this year - but this experience is. While you won't see Audrey Hepburn or Gregory Peck, you'll surely have a transportive experience! Here's what the Texas Performing Arts promises...Among the 50 backdrops received by Texas Performing Arts from the Art Director’s Guild Backdrop Recovery Project was a nearly complete replica of the Sistine Chapel. This exhibition will be the first public viewing of the entire Sistine Chapel suite. See these master illusions in an immersive space designed for personal contemplation and up-close examination of this unique Hollywood motion picture art form.
These hand-painted artworks depict scenes from the Old Testament originally painted by Renaissance Masters such as Michelangelo, Perugino, Botticelli, and others. The backdrops on display were created for the 1968 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film The Shoes of the Fisherman.

Or Plan a Pilgrimage to the Vatican Itself!
-
Join Frs. Thomas A. Kane, CSP and Julio Giulietti, SJ to encounter the deeply prayerful place that is Rome. The churches and chapels are inescapable – found around every corner, bookending every piazza, speckled along the skyline, welcoming us into prayer. The pilgrimage will visit sites precious to the Jesuits and their history and journey into the very heart of Ignatius Loyola. Pilgrims on this journey can expect to turn themselves over to prayer and to engage with various works and voices in the Jesuit world around art and culture, education, the refugee crisis, and more.

Come, Holy Spirit - Renew and Refresh Us
-
We rely not just on political forces, but the Holy Spirit. We do not have the luxury of hopelessness and despair. We have heard Good News, and we are convinced that ultimately, despite whatever setbacks we now experience, that Truth and Goodness have already conquered evil in the death and resurrection of Jesus.
