Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 


The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

May 12-14, 2025, the ISM’s fourth Black Sacred Arts conference will convene scholars and artists to consider the theoretical and practical work of centering the Black sacred arts in the academy and beyond. It will explore ways to incorporate the study and practice of the Black sacred arts in curricula and public life with the aim of uncovering new methodologies, epistemologies and pedagogies offered through their study. 


The conference will address questions such as: How does centering the Black sacred arts in disciplinary discussions push various fields of study to imagine new theoretical paradigms and methodologies? What are some of the theological and philosophical approaches that are uncovered through the study of Black expressive culture and religion? And what can be gleaned when the Black sacred arts become the heuristic? 


The conference will further seek out research and case studies that illustrate the profound losses that have accompanied the exclusion of the Black sacred arts in educational and institutional settings. The interdisciplinary conversations we hope will emerge from this conference will discover novel terrain through centering the Black sacred arts in discussions of sonic, visual, and other sensoria that cut across religious, geographic, or social categories throughout Africa and beyond.


Keynote speakers: Dr. Kyrah Malika Daniels, assistant professor of African American studies at Emory University, and Dr. Jacob K. Olupona, professor of African and African American studies at Harvard University and professor of African religion at Harvard Divinity School.

Develop your pottery skills as you focus on wheel-throwing techniques in stoneware and porcelain.

Lessons will cover both functional and decorative pottery with emphasis on classical forms as we know them. Students will be shown how to apply glazes and/or oxide washes to achieve desired results, such as combining glaze colors and the application of wood ash to create unexpected effects on their work.

May 12-14, 2025, the ISM’s fourth Black Sacred Arts conference will convene scholars and artists to consider the theoretical and practical work of centering the Black sacred arts in the academy and beyond. It will explore ways to incorporate the study and practice of the Black sacred arts in curricula and public life with the aim of uncovering new methodologies, epistemologies and pedagogies offered through their study. 


The conference will address questions such as: How does centering the Black sacred arts in disciplinary discussions push various fields of study to imagine new theoretical paradigms and methodologies? What are some of the theological and philosophical approaches that are uncovered through the study of Black expressive culture and religion? And what can be gleaned when the Black sacred arts become the heuristic? 


The conference will further seek out research and case studies that illustrate the profound losses that have accompanied the exclusion of the Black sacred arts in educational and institutional settings. The interdisciplinary conversations we hope will emerge from this conference will discover novel terrain through centering the Black sacred arts in discussions of sonic, visual, and other sensoria that cut across religious, geographic, or social categories throughout Africa and beyond.


Keynote speakers: Dr. Kyrah Malika Daniels, assistant professor of African American studies at Emory University, and Dr. Jacob K. Olupona, professor of African and African American studies at Harvard University and professor of African religion at Harvard Divinity School.

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 


The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

Create an artist book using the concept of home as inspiration.

The book can explore a real or imagined home, the structure and architecture of a house, housing-related political issues, a psychological space, or anywhere your creativity leads.

Participants will be guided in designing pages—whether blank or filled with text, collage, painting, or drawing—before assembling them into a book that physically resembles a house.

Exercises will help generate content, and a tour of a university artists’ book collection will offer further inspiration.

A small amount of work outside of sessions may be needed to complete the book.

Throughout the process, all fundamental bookbinding skills will be taught.

No experience is necessary.

Enrollment in this class includes one 3 hour monitored open bench session a week.

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 


The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

March 22 – September 7, 2025 | Exhibition open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm with free parking and admission EXCEPT Friday, April 18 (Good Friday); Saturday, April 19 (Holy Saturday); Sunday, April 20 (Easter); Saturday, June 7; and Friday, July 4 (Independence Day).


Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 


The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

March 22 – September 7, 2025 | Exhibition open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm with free parking and admission EXCEPT Friday, April 18 (Good Friday); Saturday, April 19 (Holy Saturday); Sunday, April 20 (Easter); Saturday, June 7; and Friday, July 4 (Independence Day).


Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 


The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.
