Mr. Paul Hope

In his own words: I can think of no greater honor and responsibility than to serve God by shepherding the students of St. John Paul the Great as they begin to recognize, explore, and develop 'this kind of divine spark which is the artistic vocation' - St. John Paul the Great in his Letter to Artists, April 4th, 1999. In this inspirational letter, he went on to write, "Within the vast cultural panorama of each nation, artists have their unique place. Obedient to their inspiration in creating works both worthwhile and beautiful, they not only enrich the cultural heritage of each nation and of all humanity, but they also render an exceptional social service in favor of the common good."
