Devotionals— Holy Cards

2010-08-19T08:11:00.000-07:00

By: Linda Hamilton

Did you receive a Holy Card for First Communion, Confirmation, a significant event such as an Ordination or anniversary, as a reward from nuns and priests, or perhaps as a memorial of a deceased family or friend? Flip through a missal, bible or prayer book, and more than likely a holy card can be found tucked between its pages, often used as a bookmark. On the back of the cards can be found prayers, novenas, and remembrances of those who have preceded us in death. Childhood friends often used them as trading cards. They are, indeed, cherished items.

An early example of a holy card, or holy picture, is a wood block print of St. Christopher from the year 1423. In France and Germany during the 1400’s, the art of making hand-made paper holy cards featuring saints with decorative borders became popular and were often used as gifts or commemorative cards. They were likely the precursor of the greeting cards with which we are familiar, a 19th century custom that continues today.

The late 1700’s saw the invention of the print process of lithography and the 1800’s yielded the production of color prints, known as chromolithography. This period experienced a growth in the mass-production of holy cards, which were also becoming popular in the United States. Quick to seize an opportunity, many European printing companies opened locations here in the States.

The Swiss company, Carl Benziger and Sons, founded in 1792, set up shop in Cincinnati, OH in the year 1838. Their name was later changed to Benziger Brothers, becoming the most important printing company in the U.S.

Not limited to Catholics, it was during the mid-nineteenth century that Protestants began to use cards depicting biblical scenes and texts instead of pictures of saints, and were often used for bible studies. The Victorian era saw the production of small embossed lace-edged holy cards, while many private businesses utilized similarly-sized cards for advertising purposes.

After a waning of interest in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the popularity of holy cards is now on the rise. Some antique holy cards (over 100 years old) and many vintage ones hold great appeal to collectors from an aesthetic and historic viewpoint. While many of the newer ones being produced today are laminated, paper versions evoke great sentiment, recalling an earlier time, with their colorful pictures and golden edges.

Care should be taken in preserving holy cards; use acid-free materials for long-term storage.

Hidden Treasures Banquet

2010-07-12T07:25:00.000-07:00

The first annual Hidden Treasures Banquet on Saturday, June 19, 2010 was a huge success. Over 840 guests poured into 707 West Broad Street- the former Graham Ford Dealership for a lovely dinner and program ("Pro-Graham") to help support the museum and Holy Family Soup Kitchen.

Our keynote speakers were Doctors Peter Kreeft and Kenneth Howell. They each gave a beautiful appeal to help support the museum. Dr. Howell spoke on the importance of continuity with the past, and how our museum keeps alive the important art and history of the Catholic Church. Dr. Kreeft spoke on the importance of both the soup kitchen and museum. As it is important to be fed physically, it is more important to be fed spiritually. The museum, he said, is food for the soul.

In all, it was a wonderful evening with many blessings. The outpouring of support from the community was simply overwhelming. Our sincere thanks to the many dedicated volunteers and benefactors who helped to make this a truly memorable evening.

Catholic Cultural Center to Begin in Fall!

2009-07-14T07:47:00.000-07:00

The Jubilee Museum & Catholic Cultural Center is proud to announce the grand kickoff of a new and exciting dimension of our ministry, offering faith formation courses available to the public at large.

These lecture series will cover a range of topics, including apologetics and the spiritual life. Courses will eventually be offered on a regular basis, from weekend seminars to ongoing weekly classes. Our goal is to provide greater understanding of the tenants of the Catholic Faith, and to dialogue with those coming from other religions or no religion at all.

The premiere series will be a faith-enrichment course using St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) as a guide for the spiritual life. Beginning on Thursday, September 17 and ending on October 22, 2009, we will be covering such topics as conversion, contemplative prayer, evangelical poverty, and growth in our relationship with God.

Entitled, St. Francis: Model of the Spiritual Journey, this six week course in spirituality will be offered by Brother Francis Bennett, FMJ, of the Monastic Community of Jerusalem in Montreal, Canada. Br. Francis has given numerous courses in spiritual formation and has been active in spiritual direction for many years.

Br. Francis will also be leading a six week course in the winter about the early Church Fathers and renewal of the mind in Christ (concerning one’s control of thoughts). The series will begin on January 7, 2010.

From The Director

2009-04-29T11:48:00.000-07:00

Father Thomas Buffer (a local priest) is a regular visitor to the Jubilee Museum. He often works on the pipe organs there, and has encouraged the growth of the museum over the years. He uses an interesting phrase every time some new and remarkable item cones in: ”You go from strength to strength.” This beautiful Jewish phrase has a nice ring to it. The strength and the success is all from the Hand of God. There have been many blessings here in the parish that have helped us with our two main goals: to feed the hungry and to feed the soul as well through the teaching power of art.

Our latest strength has been the reception of several more gifts from John Lawrence, one of our great benefactors. Recently John brought six large framed pages from an antiphonary originally hand printed for a Franciscan monastery in the early 1500s. Several of his gifts that will be permanently given to the museum some time in the future were brought for temporary display. These included a hand printed and illuminated nun’s prayer book began around 1400, as well as a Liturgy of Hours personally made for the King of France around the year 1440. Each page is printed on vellum, and to show off the royal wealth, about a fourth of each page was left blank. (Vellum was so expensive that scribes would often use every square inch of the page.)

John brought these gifts for the filming of the museum by the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). On March 7, a six-person film crew from ETWN paid a visit to the Jubilee Museum. They filmed the museum for about two hours, and in the months to come, I will be invited down to Irondale, Alabama to appear on EWTN Live with Fr. Mitch Pacwa. All of the film that the crew took will be used as a back drop to the interview. So far they have not said when the interview will be or when the show will air.

To prepare for EWTN, the staff and numerous volunteers spent countless hours of cleaning, redesigning, painting, and preparing exhibits. The result— the museum looks the best it has ever looked! New exhibit rooms include the Holy Land Collection, with ancient and medieval artifacts from Israel and Byzantium. Also, the John Lawrence Collection has a new permanent location; the room has been painted, fitted with new track lighting, UV windows, and display cabinets.

My sincere thanks to all who have helped us through spiritual, financial, and physical support. I am grateful to God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon our enterprise in preserving the Catholic mind and memory. Through His grace, may we continue to go from strength to strength!

"Just Around The Corner" by Ryan Judkins

2009-02-17T09:15:00.000-08:00

(The following is the beginning exerpts from an article about The Jubilee Museum published in Nouvelles Nouvelles, the newsletter of the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at The Ohio State University. Click here to see the entire article in its original format.)

An unprepossessing brick building once known as Holy Family High School rests in quiet solemnity in Franklinton, just west of downtown Columbus. Wimpled nuns no longer glide through the halls or teach in the classrooms, but art and history at least are still studied there.

Dedicated to preserving Catholic art and devoted to the continuance of its religious traditions, the 11-year-old Jubilee Museum that now occupies most of the building has quickly become the largest collection of diversified Catholic artwork in the United States.

With holdings that stretch from pieces of pottery that were old and forgotten when Christ was born to vestments produced after the sweeping changes of the Second Vatican Council, the Jubilee Museum is a particularly apt place to reflect on the place of religion in medieval and Renaissance society and the changes that have or have not occurred into
the modern period. Its large book collection, for instance, which includes a 1582 fi rst edition of the Rhemes New Testament and missals from 1607 to 1962, is well suited to examining the rituals that infused life, that celebrated births, recognized marriages, mourned deaths, granted
forgiveness, consecrated churches, and more.

Father Kevin Lutz, the priest who oversees the museum, commented, “It’s a witness to stability. There’s not a single word changed in the oldest missal we have. Rituals have a very slow development process. Kneeling, bowing, customs like that evolved slowly and even additions had an organic quality. Even if you might look different at twenty or thirty than fifty, you’re still the same person.”

(Religious) Art Saves Souls

2009-02-04T07:12:00.001-08:00

When charitable organizations come around to ask for money, the potential donor always asks himself this question: “What is the importance of this project?” It may be as basic as feeding the poor or educating inner-city children. Perhaps it involves supporting religious orders whose goal it is to offer spiritual sacrifices for the world. Whatever the mission statement, we want to feel as though our limited financial resources will be spent most usefully. We want the biggest bang for our buck.

So here we are at The Jubilee Museum, in the same category of needing financial support. A good number of people may look upon what we do as a luxury. After all, our ministry involves preserving Catholics treasures, and helping to furnish our poorer churches with some of these liturgical items. Quaint, perhaps, but is it really necessary? And certainly with an economic crisis that we are in, it seems that now— of all times— not the time to be discussing such frivolous matters as art.

As I was praying one day, the idea came to me that art is no mere luxury; it is essential in bringing people to God. We mortals are sensual— we relate to the world around us through our five senses. And since we cannot hear or see God the way we can on the natural level, we have to turn to other things to see the Divine.

We may take for granted the wooden crucifix hanging on our wall, the statues in our churches, or even the Miraculous Medal in our pocket. From something as small as a rosary, religious art brings us to the doorway of Heaven. They are heavenly aids meant to inspire us to a deeper conversion.

Imagine a church without statues, stained glass windows, Stations of the Cross, paintings, or even a cross to gaze upon. What a cold and dreary sanctuary, with nothing more than a table, ambo, and chair! Without religious artistic aids to help us transcend our earthly existence, we cannot hope to bring others into a conversation with God. Yes, prayer transcends the senses, but only after we are brought there through those senses. Through listening to the art of music... through the smells of incense... through the taste of the Bread of Life... through the touch of Christ’s image on the crucifix... through beholding the beauty of stained glass, paintings, sculpture and other forms of religious art.

What does the Jubilee Museum do that is as important as any other charity? By preserving these religious items we are maintaining signs of faith that help many Christians along the way to meet God Almighty. We help poorer churches give to its parishioners the opportunity to experience these great treasures— and perhaps a deeper conversion because of them.

It is no exaggeration to say that art is responsible for both conversions and for sustaining the penitent in his relationship with God. And since the salvation of souls is paramount, we must be concerned about our Catholic patrimony’s preservation, restoration, and availability to others.

With God’s grace, we have the ability to change hearts and minds through our illustrious patrimony. Indeed, art saves souls.

The Jubilee Museum Marks Its 10th Anniversary

2008-10-29T09:42:00.000-07:00

The Jubilee Museum celebrates its tenth year anniversary this year: 1998-2008. No one (especially Fr. Lutz, our founder) could have imagined ten years ago that the museum would have grown to become what it is today. What began as a modest attempt to prepare for the Jubilee Year 2000 has become the largest Catholic museum of diversified Catholic artwork in the United States.

And this is just the beginning. Who knows what God has in store for our next ten years? Time will tell.

The museum will officially celebrate its tenth birthday in the early Spring. Details will be forthcoming, including the dates and guest speakers. Please check back.

Director's Welcome

2008-10-16T08:43:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the Jubilee Museum and Catholic Cultural Center, located immediately west of and in sight of downtown Columbus, Ohio in the historic area known as Franklinton (founded 1797).

Ten years ago the Jubilee Museum began as a modest effort to prepare for the Jubilee Year 2000 and to display a few tokens of the history of the Diocese of Columbus. The four rooms at that time were thinly decorated with a few vestments, photos, books, and statues. Now ten years and twenty rooms later, we are crowded and greatly blessed. From the opening day things began to accelerate with countless donations, tours, and events, that it seems incomprehensible that a decade has passed since that opening.

There is an interesting quality to our many collections; they are the voices of the past. We can’t speak to this world after we die and even recordings are a bit of an artificial memory of our words and events. A more eloquent voice that speaks to the meaning of our lives is the good we do for others in the Name of Christ and the testament we leave in our earthly goods which speak of our faith, hope, and charity.

Several years ago I went to Assisi and saw the habit of St. Francis. It did not appear to have any patches; it seemed to be literally made of patches. You could not determine what parts (if any) might have constituted the original tunic. How loudly it speaks after nearly eight centuries of his beloved companion, Sister Poverty.

The well-worn breviaries and Bibles, and even oddities as common as shoeshine kits of two former bishops tell stories of simple life and faith. Many tokens of closed institutions and pioneer Catholics are still speaking and sharing the story of faith, hard times, success, failure and the hand of Divine Providence surrounding it all.

Sometimes a stark contrast is seen by the placement of our treasures. In one case there stands a ciborium used at Gettysburg, and in front of it, two bullets from the same war. The symbols of violence and peace sit there, reminding the viewer of reconciliation, the price of freedom and in the ciborium, the price of our salvation.

Another display holds a Eucharistic Lantern from Good Samaritan Hospital in Zanesville, Ohio. When priests would come to bring Holy Communion in the hospital, they would be preceded by a type of sanctuary lamp, and the sound of a small bell. When the Blessed Sacrament would pass through the halls, nurses, doctors, and patients alike would stop what they were doing out of respect for our Lord. Some would even make an act of adoration in the hospital hallway. These tokens of our religious patrimony are meant to be preserved and handed down to future generations Catholics.

The museum has been blessed with tremendous gifts beyond the time limits and geographic boundaries of the Diocese of Columbus. Our collection of over seventy Latin Mass missals (Missale Romanum) date back to 1607 through 1962, and were printed all over Europe and the United States. Centuries old Eucharistic vessels and vestments from the Holy Land, which were often gifts of the royal houses of Europe also make up the permanent collection. Manuscripts and Bibles dating back to the late 1400s and 1500s are on display in several rooms as well. Personal collections of several canonized saints, habits, and countless church appointments are displayed throughout the twenty exhibit rooms and halls.

You are welcome to take the tour. There is much to see. Tours are arranged for individuals as well as groups. At present, there is no charge, but donations are welcome to fund our efforts to rescue and preserve our patrimony. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to the mission of the Jubilee Museum and Catholic Cultural Center to continue this important effort.

The Lord be with you!

Father Kevin F. Lutz

Museum Highlight- The Saint Peter's Collection

2008-04-04T13:10:00.000-07:00

The Jubilee Museum is home to a wide assortment of art from a wide range of eras. With over eighteen exhibits (and counting), we may ask ourselves where to begin to highlight all of our vast treasures? It is fitting, though, that the first exhibit to be profiled is the St. Peter’s Collection, for this was the catalyst behind the establishment of the museum. The room enshrines many of the artifacts that once filled St. Peter's Church on New York Ave., Columbus, Ohio, as well as memorabilia from the priest who built the church- and stood on the corner watching it be torn down.

The exhibit itself may be of local interest; however its sentiments reach far beyond Columbus, to every closed Catholic institution throughout the world. Though it was demolished almost 40 years ago, its memory lives on.

An All-Too-Short History
St. Peter’s Catholic Church was built in 1928 by Msgr. Anthony Schlierenzauer, who remained pastor there over 40 years, until the church’s closing in late 1969 and demolition in May of 1970. Due to its location in the inner-city and with dropping enrollment, the church was quietly sold to a land developer. As part of the deal, the church, convent, school, and rectory were all demolished. Unfortunately, little was done to preserve the sacred art within the buildings; in fact, the high altar was left standing as the wrecking ball tore through the church.

The space that currently occupies it is a Wendy’s Restaurant parking lot. Yet if you go there today, you will see a set of stairs that lead from the sidewalk on New York Ave. to a small section of grass immediately before entering the parking lot. These stairs, and the ones to the left of them leading to the (demolished) St. Peregrine Shrine is all that is left of St. Peter's Church.

Preserving St. Peter's Memory
When Fr. Kevin F. Lutz began The Jubilee Museum, he had a special goal in mind- to recreate as best he could the religious items that were salvaged from old St. Peter’s. (He was a young parishioner and organist at the church when it closed.) When he began in 1998, he had nothing more than a small altar boy stool given to him by his late mother. Yet as news of his museum spread, more and more treasures were brought forth including the church’s stained glass windows, pulpit, sanctuary lamp, missal, photos, and many personal items from Msgr. Anthony.

The most striking element within the St. Peter’s Collection is the stained glass windows that are displayed along the walls of the room. These windows were created by the world renowned Von Gerichten Studies, a local company which had an office on South High Street in German Village (in Columbus), and another office in Munich, Germany. At its height in the 1920s and '30s, Von Gerichten Studies was considered to be the third best stained glass company in the world. The detail in the windows themselves are incredible and show a high quality of craftsmanship. Twenty saints lined up the church (ten on each side), with angels adorning the tops.

The museum was given many of the windows by John Gibbony, a local architect who was among the parishioners who preserved what he could. Unfortunately, all of the windows were in need of repair; some were shattered in numerous places while some had multiple cracks. In 2003, Fr. Lutz gave the keynote address at Stained Glass Association of America’s national conference. (The SGAA is located in Columbus.) Through his heartfelt speech, he was able to provide free restoration of all the saint windows in the museum’s care, which is currently at seventeen.

Other items within the St. Peter’s Collection include a scaled wooden church model. The complete set of the Stations of the Cross found there way back to Columbus all the way from Hardy, Arkansas. The Stations were destined for a church that was never built. Several statues are among the collection as well, including a beautifully hand-carved Pieta. One of the most treasured pieces is a statue of St. Anthony, which stood in the church for many, many years.

Among the artifacts preserved from St. Peter’s are personal items from the life of Msgr. Anthony. His roll top desk, rocking chair, and numerous pictures are among the items displayed. Fr. Lutz credits this saintly man as one of his chief role models as a priest. Beloved by all, many former parishioners have fond memories and stories to tell of the good monsignor.

The Importance of It All
The St. Peter’s Collection is significant for several reasons beyond its historic and artistic value. As was already mentioned, this was this collection that began The Jubilee Museum. Fr. Lutz felt a sense of urgency as he saw many priceless treasures being cast aside with little concern. As he saw his beloved church being destroyed, he knew that he had a special mission to protect and preserve the patrimony of the Catholic Church.

A second reason why this collection is vital to our museum is that it stands as a model for our efforts in attempting to preserve the heritage of our closed Catholic institutions. Although the Jubilee Museum is a joyful celebration of the artistic and cultural history of the Catholic Church, there is also a marked degree of sadness as many items in our inventory have been salvaged from similar wrecking balls that hit St. Peter’s. Many visitors are astonished that such priceless religious art is not located in more churches and other Catholic institutions. Yet the reality of the matter is that much of our museum is made up of items otherwise destined for the garbage heap. We offer the St. Peter’s Collection as a permanent reminder that although the buildings themselves may have been demolished, the Catholic mind and memory continues.

Why the Museum Matters

2008-04-04T11:31:00.000-07:00

Art has the power to teach.

Back in the Medieval Era, the majority of Christendom was made up of hardworking and illiterate peasants who nonetheless were devout and pious Catholics. How did a father and a mother teach their children the truths of the Faith without so much as a catechism manual or Holy Bible? The answer- they went to church. In almost every Catholic church throughout the world, the Deposit of Faith was artistically presented in at least a modified way. Whether it was a mural of the Ten Commandments, or stained glass windows depicting the fifteen mysteries of the rosary, the Faith was taught through in art.

At institutions such as The Jubilee Museum and Catholic Cultural Center, we are sometimes asked why a potential benefactor would be inclined to lend financial support to our endeavors when so many around the world are in poverty. Should we not sell our valuable collection and give the proceeds to the poor?

Christ Himself answered this question 2,000 years ago when He said, “The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me” (Matt 26:11).

What our Lord is telling us is that it is not an “either/ or” but rather a “both/ and.” The corporal works of mercy- feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, etc.- is a necessary requirement for Christians (Matt 25:31-40). Yet so are the spiritual works of mercy, which include instructing the ignorant. By “ignorant” we are not referring to one’s intelligence, but rather we mean those who are unaware of the truths of the Catholic Faith. It is just as important to teach the Faith as it is to feed the hungry, and with the Holy Family Soup Kitchen being downstairs, we do both.

A real life example may be useful. On occasions we have Protestant visitors to our museum, and they are always impressed by our significant collection of rare Bibles. (We have translations in a dozen languages, and even one in Braille, ranging over a four hundred year period.) When they are shown our facsimile edition of the Gutenberg Bible, first book in print and published around 1455, some of our separated brethren become upset. They are mad not at us, but at their pastors who taught them that the Catholic Church added seven books to the Old Testament at the Council of Trent (1545-1563). They are stunned to see those seven books in print almost eighty years before Martin Luther removed them from his translation of the Bible into German.

Another powerful reason why our ministry needs to be preserved is one of divine justice. Religious art needs to be preserved to give glory and honor to our Creator. In the Old Testament, when God asked for sacrifices, He asked for the best of one’s flocks. This is why He accepted Abel’s offerings but not Cain’s (Gen 4:2-7). We need to offer God the finest gifts, as the Wise Men gave the Christ child gold, frankincense, and myrrh. He deserves the finest things from us, both spiritually (through prayer and good works) and temporally (through offering Him a fitting channel for divine worship).

In an age when the tallest and most prestigious buildings are secular and not for God’s glory; where art is designed to offend rather than inspire; where God is (at best) a mere afterthought rather than the focus of our lives--- we need The Jubilee Museum more than ever.

Welcome!

Welcome to the blog site for The Jubilee Museum and Catholic Cultural Center, located immediately west of downtown Columbus, Ohio in the historic area known as Franklinton. The purpose of this blog is to serve as an on-line update for new events, acquisitions, and articles from our newsletters highlighting significant items from our collection.

The Jubilee Museum was founded in 1998 by Father Kevin F. Lutz as a repository of Catholic art in the Diocese of Columbus. Since its conception ten years ago as a way to prepare for the Jubilee Year 2000, it has grown considerably to become the largest museum of diversified Catholic artwork in the United States.

In addition to its primary purpose of historic preservation, the Museum serves as an advisory and appraising institution, and has a large number of certified appraisers who regularly consult the museum for insurance and historic valuation. The Museum is listed in The Official Catholic Directory 2003, published by P.J. Kenedy and Sons.

Our founder and curator, Father Lutz, was appointed by Pope John Paul II on May 13, 2000 as a Consulter to the Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Catholic Church. He was the first American to be so honored. This is the Pontifical Commission appointed by the Pope to oversee all the art of the Catholic Church throughout the world. Members are among the Roman curia.

Among the thousands of guests to the museum has been two Vatican Cardinals- Francesco Cardinal Marchisano (twice) and Francis Cardinal Arinze, as well as EWTN host, Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R.

To experience the richness of our collection in person, please call Linda Hamilton at (614) 461-6204 to set up a time to visit. Individuals and groups are welcome; times are flexible.

The Jubilee Museum is a non-profit organization which relies 100% on the goodwill offerings of private benefactors. Please consider helping our ministry to preserve the Catholic mind and memory. (Click on "Email" from the link.)

Thank you for your interest in our museum. May God bless you now and forever.
