WASHINGTON — Praising the "the esteemed heritage and promising future" of church architecture, Philadelphia Cardinal Justin Rigali said architects who create sacred spaces have "a vocation and a mission" and perform "important work that serves to express our response to God."
Artists and architects who work on church projects "open themselves to the light of sacred tradition," and "prepare a dwelling place that becomes a fitting sanctuary," the cardinal said.
Such work, when created "in the light of faith," becomes "an exalted mission," he said.
