Sacred Space returns to its home on the third level of the Convention Center, with extended hours on Saturday. Take a respite from the day’s events and enter a space dedicated to facilitating a sense of spiritual rejuvenation. Our Sacred Space will offer Eucharistic Adoration in the Chapel, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, a labyrinth (pictured), art and meditative music.

Los Angeles-based photographer Robert Radin stretches the imagination, offers a feast for the eyes and beckons the spirit to behold beauty in his breathtaking images captured from around the world.

New this year, Sacred Illuminations is the mystical choreography of light and sound. Incorporating her newest liturgical and fine art photography and reflections, Sr. Rose Marie Tulacz, SND, will kindle a flame within us to experience the divine life within our humanity. Come reflect and pray.
