🎙️ Part 4: Art & Beauty in Catholicism - The Importance of Architecture in the Church
📻 October 22at 8 A.M on with Fr. Byrd of Mary Our Queen Catholic Church
🏛️ Catholic Church architecture is important because it serves as a visual representation of theology, using design to communicate faith, inspire reverence, and guide worship toward the divine. Buildings are seen as "conduits of grace" and a foretaste of heaven, using symbolism, verticality, and sacred space to make spiritual realities more tangible for the congregation. Architectural choices are intentional, aiming to create a space that reflects the glory of God and draws people into a deeper understanding of the Mass and the mysteries of the faith.
