“Homelessness” by Gloria Gu ’15, which won second place in the 10th-12th grade age group in the local Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) Art Contest, will be featured at a gallery opening tonight from 5:00-6:30pm at St. John Neumann Parish ((4030 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan). The contest challenged area high school students to create art addressing the theme of “Do Justice, Love Goodness, Walk Humbly with God.” This artwork, in the spirit of CCHD, reflects on the many faces of poverty in our local communities, and how we, as people of faith, are called to respond.
