In showing its historical and theological connections with the use of the body in sacred art, artist Anthony Visco offers insights of the correlation of the corporeal to  the sacramental nature of Catholicism, the Holy Eucharist, and the Mystery of the Incarnation.You will not want to miss this informative and inspiring lecture.  Invite family and friends and make reservations to ensure a seat.  A reception will follow the lecture.
