We are confronted with such questions as: What is art? How does art reveal beauty? Is beauty in the eye of the beholder?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Join Tony Jesse and Seminarian James Grossheim for a special presentation on the role of art and beauty in our faith, titled <i>Echoes of Heaven: Discovering God in Beauty. <\/i>This inspiring talk explores what art reveals and why beauty matters in both life and our relationship with God. It also looks at how the recent additions and current renovation to our church is fulfilling this purpose.\u00a0 The event is Sunday, August 3, in the Parish Conference Center between Masses. RSVPs are appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/stmatthewtn.breezechms.com\/form\/beauty\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">Echoes of Heaven<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img width=\"600\" height=\"360\" title=\"Echoes of Heaven 1000 x 600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/files\/2025\/07\/Echoes-of-Heaven-1000-x-600-600x360.png\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-7140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/files\/2025\/07\/Echoes-of-Heaven-1000-x-600-200x120.png 200w, https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/files\/2025\/07\/Echoes-of-Heaven-1000-x-600-400x240.png 400w, https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/files\/2025\/07\/Echoes-of-Heaven-1000-x-600-600x360.png 600w, https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/files\/2025\/07\/Echoes-of-Heaven-1000-x-600-800x480.png 800w, https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/files\/2025\/07\/Echoes-of-Heaven-1000-x-600.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7138,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[523,524,525,516,520,522,519,518],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7137"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7137"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7186,"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7137\/revisions\/7186"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stmatthewtn.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
