The Very Rev. Fr. Joshua Caswell SJC, Superior General of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius, Architect, James McCrery, Screenwriter, Dr. Barbara Nicolosi, Composer, Dr. Mark Nowakowski, and other conference attendees discuss their perspective about the important mission and work of the Catholic Art Institute. Through a growing community and enriching educational events, the Catholic Art Institute is working to evangelize the culture through beauty and the Catholic Sacred Arts. There is no more fitting place for artistic gifts than to glorify God at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

We are a small nonprofit making great strides but we need the support of our community.
