ARCCC Annual Conference in St. John's Winds Up

ARCCC members have wound up their three day annual conference in St. John's, Newfoundland, after exploring the theme of Communications through Art.

The conference focused on how art is used to tell the story of Newfoundland culture. Newfoundland artist Gerald Squires, whose depiction of the stations of cross in a Newfoundland setting that has received world acclaim, discussed the development of this project which adorns the walls of Mary Queen of Peace Parish in Mount Pearl.

ARCCC members also heard from Archbishop Martin Currie of St. John's who outlined the role film has played in the history of the Catholic Church in Newfoundland and Labrador, and from Gerald Phalen, the News Director of VOCM Radio who discussed the ongoing relationship between secular media and the Church.
