VALLEY TALK: St. Ann’s: Towers of Faith of Family with Paul Bourget

St. Ann’s Church has been called “America’s Sistine Chapel,” with over 20,000 square feet of magnificent fresco paintings that rival the artistry of Michelangelo and Raphael. Paul Bourget, co-author of Towers of Faith and Family, St. Ann’s Church 100th anniversary book, will share what he learned in researching the frescoes, focusing on the subject matter of the frescoes and the artistry of its creative genius, Guido Nincheri. As part of the presentation, Bourget will relate personal stories of the people who lived, worshiped, and became part of the artistry of St. Ann’s Church.
