"...It is time to return to that fruitful alliance between the Church and artists which has deeply marked the path of Christianity in the two millenniums.  This presumes your ability, dear Christian artists, to live profoundly the reality of your Christian faith, so that it will give birth to culture and offer the world new 'Epiphanies' of the divine beauty reflected in creation."

Pope John Paul II

The Franciscan Renaissance site is dedicated to promoting and distributing Religious and sacred art.  Proceeds from the sale of many of these items go to support the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal's work with the poor.
