CALIFORNIA---In a sunny photo from 1964, a big group of nuns and girls with flowers in their hair hold pink signs that say "God Likes Me" or "I Like God." That photo, of the
Mary's Day celebration held at Immaculate Heart College in Hollywood, is included in a glass case in "
Someday Is Now: The Art of Corita Kent," which just opened at the
Pasadena Museum of California Art. "Mary's Day used to be very formal," Lenore Navarro Dowling, a former Sister of the Immaculate Heart order, says on a recent Tuesday as she stands near the glass case that holds the photo. [
