While the Mass was an important
liturgical activity that transpired
within Catholic churches, The Pious Guide makes clear that churches
also served as the setting for a wide range of public and private devotions.

prayer.
by William J. Turner
This bishop
is in the forefront of what I hope will be a
modern movement to encourage in this age
what the people of the Middle Ages believed
and understood. They were willing
to support and express what they believed
in their sacred buildings.
by Michael S. Rose
When Father John McGuire
left the United States to serve as a
missionary priest in Cali, Colombia,
he quickly came to realize the
extreme need of the common people
on the streets—those who have been most affected by the illegal drug
trafficking and the many civil war conflicts.
by Robert L. Woodbury

that defines this liturgical
space, and what is said is
an apology for modernist
minimalism. Clarity and
openness, without confusion
and clutter, are necessary
