Sermons in Stone: Why Church Architecture Preaches the Gospel - Fr. Brian Hughes - 08/26/2026
The Catholic Morning Show
Retired Diocese of Sioux City priest Fr. Brian Hughes joins the Catholic Morning Show to explain why church buildings are "sermons in stone," drawing on his University of Virginia thesis on architect William L. Steele. Fr. Hughes explores how sacred architecture uses stone, glass, and light to express the invisible realities of God's kingdom, sharing which northwest Iowa churches are most worth a visit. It's a rich conversation on beauty, sacrament, and how buildings can form the faithful in prayer.
