St. Patrick and the Irish imagination God wedded his zeal for the gospel to the Irish imagination.
Artful Ministry and social justice Good art prods and provokes us to look at life through a different lens.

Discipline is needed Like the artist, our ministry craft must be practiced, practiced, practiced.
Art and success The artistic ideal is to create for the joy of the work, not for the payoff.
