Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel Exhibition

An immersive showcase of museum-quality, near-life-size reproductions of the iconic master’s 34 frescoes that adorn the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.

Now through January 11, 2020, visitors can see this art in a close-to-life-size, never before seen perspective. It’s a perfect experience for those who have never been to Rome and want to see the art work AND for those who have been to the Sistine Chapel and want a closer look and to learn more about each fresco.

This is an excellent opportunity to experience both the exhibition and the changes made on Christ Cathedral Campus. Guests can enhance their experience by adding an optional self-guided audio narrative available in 4 languages.

“It is here at the feet of this marvelous Sistine Profusion of color that the Cardinals gather – a community responsible for the legacy of the keys of the Kingdom. They come right here. And once more Michelangelo wraps them in his vision.” -The poetry of John Paul II

2019 PSA Update – “We Are One”

Thank you to the 87 families who have already pledged to support the mission of the Church in our Diocese through their commitment to the 2019 PSA. As of today, we have received pledges of $69,206 with $61,983 of this already paid. Since we have now met our diocesan goal, all additional gifts we receive from this point on will be returned straight back to us and used to construct two new ADA compliant restrooms. If you have not yet made your pledge, please do so today. We are still hoping to meet our personal goal of $85,000.

In addition, since we have now received donations from 87 donors, this will give us an incentive award of $3,000. Thank you for bringing our number of donors up
