2-05: Madonnas of Color and the Healing Power of Beauty

Friday, February 24 | Period 2 | 1:00pm - 2:15pm 

Brother Mickey will share his own Art and Stories centered on the history of Black and Dark Madonnas in the Catholic Church. In addition to Montserrat and Guadalupe, we will take a fresh look at beloved titles of Mary from the Litany of Loreto as seen through his own contemporary interpretations and experience. No matter the color or ethnic origin, all the Madonnas remind us of the healing power of beauty and our experiences of the Feminine Divine.

Brother Mickey McGrath is an Oblate of St. Francis de Sales.  He is an artist. presenter, teacher, and author/ illustrator of twenty-one award-winning books. For the past thirteen years he has lived and worked out of his Camden, New Jersey studio. One of his primary interests is to express and reveal the beauty of diversity through art and story.
