Faith Alive!
A Weekly Adult Education Series


 

   Faith Alive! is a weekly adult education series published by Catholic News Service and distributed by Catholic newspapers throughout the United States.  In the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Faith Alive! is printed each week in The Witness, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese.

   Faith Alive! examines a variety of current issues from the perspective of Catholic faith.  It provides a variety of viewpoints on these issues each week and offers Catholic readers an excellent resource for personal reflection or small group discussion.  Faith Alive! is a convenient and accessible source of continuing adult faith formation on a regular basis.

   We post here an introduction to this week's Faith Alive! topic and the schedule of Faith Alive! topics for the coming months as well as comments from readers.  You can read this week's articles in the current issue of The Witness or online from Catholic News Service.

The Arts and Our Faith

Summary:  Some of the greatest works of art in history have been of a religious nature, including the grand art and architecture at the Vatican and in Catholic churches throughout the world. And inspiring music is heard every day of the week in churches. How do these works of art help our faith life? Even works of art not originally created with religion in mind, such as much of the classical music the pope loves so much, can be inspiring. How can secular art help our faith life?
