ILLINOIS---For most people today, art is something that is secular and cutting edge, breaking with the past to lead people into new ways of thinking and away from authority of any sort. But for most of human history, art was both an important part of religious worship and an homage to what has gone on before, a link to the past. Those aspects are well illustrated at St. Michael's Catholic Church in St. David, where the art work not only inspires but helps parishioners connect with the older traditions of the faith in Illinois.
