Graduate Liturgical Art and Architecture Program Set for St. John's, Collegeville
St. John's University School of Theology and Seminary, Collegeville, Minnesota, will offer a graduate certificate program in liturgical art and architecture, beginning in June 2020. Classes during the thirteen-month program will be both online and onsite, with students only being required to be on campus for two-week sessions during June 2020 and June 20201.

The program will benefit people who seek an in-depth understanding of liturgical art and architecture and its practical application.

  • Liturgical Space Analysis Project, onsite and online during academic year
  • Rites of the Church, fall semester, online
  • Initiation and Eucharist, spring semester, online
  • Liturgical Consultancy II, June 2021
  • Sacred Art, June 2021

Faculty will include Carol Frenning, Johan van Parys, Fr. Daniel McCarthy, osb, and Br. Paul Lange, osb. Other experts will make presentations through video hookup during the on-campus summer courses.

Frenning, the founder and president of the Association of Consultants for Liturgical Space, is the director of the program. Frenning is also on the board of Faith and Form and has served as the convener for the Visual Arts and the Liturgy Seminar of the North American Academy of Liturgy and as past chair of the Art and Environment Committee for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minnesota.
