The tragic loss of the beautiful and our mission to rescue it.
Goodness Truth Beauty
The three inherently interconnected transcendentals that reflect the nature of being and God’s divine essence. Thomas Aquinas asserts that understanding these are essential for grasping the purpose of creation and the moral and intellectual virtues, as they guide human beings toward the ultimate end—union with God.
This gallery denotes the destruction of the transcendent Beauty of churches, many now closed, in the diocese of Saint John, with the sole aim of demonstrating the importance of preserving the beauty in Tradition that is meant to ground us in the worship of Jesus Christ.
