TAMPA, FLA., February 17 (CNA/EWTN News) .- A Jesuit High School in Tampa, Fla., recently dedicated its new chapel, which was beautifully re-designed to encourage devotion to God.
\”The Jesuits recognized that the existing chapel was becoming inadequate to the growing liturgical needs and desires of the community,\” artist Joel Pidel, who re-designed the chapel, told CNA Feb. 13.
Pidel noted \”that greater devotion would be fostered\” by transforming the space \”into a place that more fully or evidentially manifested God\’s beauty.\”
\”Beauty increases devotion,\” he added, \”beauty is the \’natural\’ analog of grace, a continual reminder that everything is gift, and that our every response should be one of gratitude.\”
