Father Mark Haydu, LC

June 8, 2008. Cleveland, OH. Fr Mark Haydu, LC, is a Legionary of Christ who serves as the international director of the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums.

This summer, the Vatican Museums is sending Fr Haydu with some of its greatest artistic treasures on tour to Cleveland, Ohio from May 31st to September 7th, and to St Paul, Minnesota in the fall of 2008. The exhibit has already visited St Petersburg, Florida.

“Vatican Splendors” features over 200 works of art and historically significant objects, including works by Michelangelo, Bernini, and Giotto. The Vatican Splendors web site says that it is “one of the largest Vatican collections ever to tour North America” and that many of the pieces have never before been on public view.
