Teach us, Heavenly Father, to live with generosity:

to fight, not heeding the wounds;
to toil, not asking for rest;
to labor, not seeking any reward,
save that of knowing that we do Your will.
Amen.

28. The Art Program
The story that we are trying to tell
in this building
Karen Schmidt sculpture
Deborah Luke relief sculptures
Scott Parsons art glass
Fr. Mark Joseph Costello, OFM Cap liturgical design
Br. Vincent Nguyen, OFM San Damiano cross

29. Karen Schmidt
Bronze sculpture
Image of St. Francis and St. Clare together
¾ life-size
For the interior of the church

30. EX: Holy Family
This sculpture of the Holy
Family is rich with
symbolism. The Christ-child
prefigures the cross:
His future calling.
We perceive the Son’s trust
in His loving father, and so
we begin to understand the
relationship He has with His
Heavenly Father. Mary, like
the Church, adores her Son.

31. EX: Mary & Elizabeth
was commissioned for
the chapel of the
Elizabeth House, a home
for pregnant women in
crisis. This sculpture
shows Mary in her
humanity: a young,
vulnerable girl, in awe of
the One who dwells
within her. It pictures
her obedience, faith,
and courage. Elizabeth
serves as an example to
us, calling us to come
alongside the
vulnerable.
