ATLANTA—Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Atlanta will host concerts, spring plays, musicals and dance performances from February through May.   

In a 2018 address to the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums, Pope Francis said, “In today’s troubled world, unfortunately so often torn and damaged by selfishness and the thirst for power, art represents, perhaps even more than in the past, a universal need because it is a source of harmony and peace, and expresses the dimension of gratitude.”
