Come for a beautiful afternoon of faith, fellowship, and inspiration at our Angelic Friar’s High Tea: Art Talk on Blessed Fra Angelico. Settle in with a warm cup of tea and scones, as Megan Alvis shares the story of Blessed Fra Angelico while focusing on his famous frescoes from the cells of San Marco in Florence, Italy. Traditional High Tea includes three courses: tea sandwiches, scones with jam, and sweets. Whether you are deepening your faith or simply looking for an afternoon of warmth and connection, this event promises to nourish both the soul and the spirit.
