Join Bishop John Dolan in a new video series titled “Word and Art,” where he shares his reflections on our Sunday readings and a famous work of art. The first four episodes are tied to each week of Advent, and Bishop John hopes these brief moments with art and Scripture will help you to make the most of this Advent season leading up to Christmas.
