Beauty creates communion.  It unites onlookers from a distance, uniting past, present and future. Every expression of true beauty can thus be acknowledged as a path leading to an encounter with the Lord Jesus, "for from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator” (Wisdom 13:5).  

​

To celebrate the official opening of the Macao Catholic Culture Association’s brand-new office, the association has specially invited António Leong, National Geographic Photo Contest Winner, to jointly present the “Discovering Everyday Beauty” Photo Exhibition.  The photo exhibition starts from July 2 to September 30, 2021 and will showcase a new set of photos each month for three months, including The Chapel of Our Lady of Penha, the St. Joseph's Seminary and Church and the St. Lawrence’s Church. The photographs illustrate the integration of Catholicism with local culture over the past centuries. In this way, we hope to rekindle attention to beauty in daily life.

When we see beautiful things around us, let us pause and appreciate all the goodness that God has bestowed upon all mankind.
