Bulletin Editors | One Final Push for This Weekend’s Events

Hello Bulletin Editors!

As you may know, Art for God’s Sake takes place this weekend, May 3-5.  With the event just around the corner, we’d like to send one final request for bulletin editors to include the attached article in their bulletins next weekend.  Detroit Archbishop Vigneron is our Honorary Chairperson.  While events take place May 3-5, the suggested article is about catching the final two shows (Saturday Evening and Sunday).

Below are links to various formats of the articles:
