SIMON TOPAROVSKY: VESSELS AND CHANNELS,
a major exhibition of new artworks and installations
by Simon Toparovsky, the internationally acclaimed
contemporary artist who created the Cathedral’s
beautiful bronze crucifix.
Vessels and Channels, Mr. Toparovsky's new, sitespecific exhibition, explores ephemeral narratives of the human spirit
and celebrates the human condition through sculptural works and
compositions inspired by the devotional function of sacred images in
early Renaissance paintings and sculpture. The wall-mounted and
freestanding cast bronze and mixed-media installations are conceived as
conduits—portals and gates to the personally profound and sublime.
Vessels and Channels will be on view from November 9, 2014
through February 15 2015 at the Cathedral. Please watch the Cathedral
website for information on additional events associated with the exhibit.
This year marks the 18th anniversary of Celebrating Young Adults in
Ministry - an event which recognizes the contributions that young adults
make in the life of our local faith communities. Join us on
November 15th at 3:00 pm for a special Mass celebrated
by Archbishop José H. Gomez.. ALL ARE WELCOME!!
DID YOU KNOW?
Talk with your children about safety at school
“Back-to-school does not have to mean back-to-worrying. Though safety
inside school is ultimately the responsibility of the principal and school
staff, parents can take a few basic steps to ensure a safe school experience.”
Talk with your child about safety. Be specific. Talk about instinct and
paying attention to funny feelings of fear. Explain what to do if she
doesn't feel safe (find a teacher, call 911, etc.). Make sure she knows how
to contact you or a trusted neighbor who is likely to be at home. For more
information, please visit:
