An excellent resource for priests and parishioners who find themselves with the responsibility for beautifying their church is Dr. Denis McNamera’s book, Catholic Church Architecture.  I had the opportunity to hear him speak in Washington D.C. last spring at a talk sponsored by the Foundation for Sacred Arts and the Institute of Catholic Culture.

I gave a summary of this lecture at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.  Click below to watch the recorded lecture, courtesy of Seth deMoore, www.onebillionstories.com.
