 On June 30, our parish cultural center, St. Gregory's Hall, hosted a tour of St. Gregory the Great church (5545 N. Paulina) with Artist-in-residence Sarah Crow. Attendees learned about the liturgical and decorative art from a practicing sacred artist! 🎨 Crow took visitors through the church, showcasing its Norman Gothic architectural beauty and unique decorations which employ a diversity of artistic styles. The marble statues, hand-carved wooden shrines, polychromed ceiling, jewel-stained glass, and other decorative features comprise a survey of the history of sacred art including medieval, neoclassical, preraphaelite, art-deco, and folk art styles. Everyone had a wonderful time on the tour. *Photos courtesy of parish volunteer Damian Chlanda
