The Basilica of St. Mary is featuring an exhibit of paintings and icons by Father John Giuliani, an icon artist known for depicting Jesus and the saints in the faces of Native American peoples. Father Giuliani states, "My intent in depicting Christian saints as Native Americans is to honor them and to acknowledge their original presence on this land."
