Roses in December Remembrance
Thursday, December 2, 5:30 pm,
Student Campus Center A, B, and C

Please join us for a community soup and salad supper and a prayer service in the Chapel, to remember the lives of four American women who were martyred in 1980 while working with the poor in El Salvador.  (Ages 12+ - adult)

Long recognized as a symbol of transformation and change, the Black Madonna is often viewed as our Earth Goddess and Mother to all humanity. It is a major icon in the Christian faith. The images of the Virgin Mother portrayed as a dark woman symbolize majesty and power, a love of great strength, powerful, unbroken and enduring. CNR will spotlight the work of 12 multi-ethnic female artists, each of whom was invited to create work specifically for this exhibit. The works include: assemblage (paintings done with rocks and other found objects); ceramic reliefs; encaustics (mixture of oil and wax); installation; oil painting; video; and wall drawings.  At 4:00 pm, the Italian theater group, I Giullari Di Piazza, will perform in Romita Auditorium.
