10 I CATHOLIC SCHOOLS SEPTEMBER 10, 2014 I DENVER CATHOLIC REGISTER In an upcoming talk, profes- sor Tim Gray of the Augustine Institute will discuss how art is a powerful vehicle to elevate one's heart and mind to God, and not just something to dec- orate churches and homes. "I'll show how art works," Gray told the Denver Catholic Register. "Because it's not just decoration, it actually is do- ing something. There's a tradi- tion within art of how that art works on us, and we have to be trained to be able to read the art, literally, and then deepen our own experience of it." During the talk titled "At the Altar of the Aesthetic: A Cath- olic Vision for the Signifi cance of Art," he will draw on pieces from great artists such as Giot- to and Michelangelo to show how art can train everyday people toward contemplation. "I'm no artist," he said. "I'm not giving a talk to artists, but to those who view art (and) how it should be viewed and read by the average lay person." The free talk is being spon- sored by the institute, in con- junction with the Colorado Chapter of the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums. It is set for 7 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Augustine Institute at 6160 S. Syracuse Way in Green- wood Village. It is open to all, and will be followed by a wine and cheese reception. Reg- istration is available at www. augustineinstitute.org/pavm. The presentation will also be recorded and a link available at www.AugustineInstitute.org.

Catholic school principals and teachers participated in the social media phenomenon called the ice bucket challenge to raise money in support of ALS research. Machebeuf students raised more than $800 for the John Paul II Medical Research Insti- tute. "Many of the (students) made sacrifi ces to raise this money," Nestorick said. "They gave up a coffee or a bag of chips. They used that money to make a contribution to this important cause. This is truly an example of what is right in the Catholic schools."
