Whether it was as an art teacher at the elementary, middle and high school levels, or as the activities director for the elderly residents of the Little Sisters of the Poor community in her home town of Louisville, Kentucky, Laura often sought ways to merge the visual arts with concepts of spirituality, exploring how art can inform faith, and vice versa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But it wasn\u2019t until Laura became a member of Regnum Christi in January of 2000, that this idea of marrying art and faith took real shape in her life; in fact, it was during the incorporation ceremony itself that Laura felt God calling her to use her artistic talents to serve him in a new and creative way. When the Legionary priest leading the ceremony, Father Matthew Von Smoorenburg, LC, encouraged the newly incorporated Regnum Christi members to place their natural gifts at the service of the Church, Laura took his words immediately to heart. \u201cFather Matthew made it very clear that we were to use our God-given talents to create new ways to reach the world with the Good News that Jesus Christ wants an individual relationship with us all.\u201d It was in this moment that Laura was first inspired to start an apostolate for artists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Shortly after her incorporation, Laura came across Pope John Paul II\u2019s \u201cLetter to Artists,\u201d and one particular line struck her like a lightning bolt, confirming her idea to form a new apostolate for artists like herself: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Those who perceive in themselves this kind of divine spark<b> <\/b>which is the artistic vocation \u2013 as poet, writer, sculptor, architect, musician, actor and so on \u2013 feel at the same time the obligation not to waste this talent but to develop it, in order to put it to the service of their neighbor and of humanity as a whole.&#8221; <\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>Letter to Artists, Pope John Paul II<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calledtocreate2-145x300.jpg\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22053 size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" height=\"300\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22053 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calledtocreate2-145x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" height=\"300\"><\/noscript><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI took this to mean that I was to create a group of artists who would put to Godly use their artistic talents,\u201d says Laura, who originally named the apostolate Divine Spark, in honor of the words of Pope John Paul II that had originally inspired her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2002, working with the encouragement and approval of Father Eamon Kelly, LC, Laura began building what would eventually become Called to Create, an apostolate dedicated to Catholic visual artists who desire to live their vocation to art as a response to God\u2019s invitation to discover and share the beauty they find in creation. \u201cThe needs that are met by this apostolate are mainly the spiritual support for the\u00a0artists and the camaraderie amongst like-minded artists to become or to continue to be a beacon for Christ and his Church in this society,\u201d says Laura.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That spiritual support and formation is a vital part of Called to Create; members of the apostolate feel called to evangelize through their art, but know that in order to carry on this evangelistic mission, they themselves must be continually nourished by prayer and the sacraments and, importantly, as artists, by the spiritual contemplation of beauty. For this reason, Called to Create members join together in small groups for a monthly meeting that combines the key elements of prayer (such as a Gospel reflection), community, and of course, creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another Legionary priest, Father John Bullock, LC, has been instrumental in providing spiritual support and encouragement; in 2012, he came on board as Spiritual Director and Retreat Master for the Called to Create apostolate. \u201cHis wisdom and insights as to how to reach out to others have been invaluable to me and to our growing numbers,\u201d says Laura. The Called to Create apostolate now has four active chapters across Kentucky and Ohio, which come together annually for a spiritual retreat at the Holy Spirit Center in Norwood, Ohio. Here, participants are encouraged by professional artists to explore a variety of artistic styles and media, around a particular spiritual theme. They are then expected to take the inspirations that they received during the retreat \u2013 both spiritual and artistic \u2013 back to their local chapters and communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At the heart of the Called to Create apostolate is the call to evangelization; the members are not only nurtured in their own faith, but also then encouraged to share that faith with others, by reflecting God\u2019s truth and beauty through their art. \u201cThe purpose of the apostolate is to bring artists to see their role as evangelizers in society, and to help the Church in any way possible, through the arts,\u201d says Laura. \u201cWe all continue to create new ways of reaching out.\u201d Some of those initiatives have included undertaking special art commissions, creating exhibit pieces to enhance particular feast days in the local parish (such as Divine Mercy Sunday, or the Feast of the Sacred Heart), hosting field trips to museums and cathedrals, sponsoring a student artist exhibit that featured a pro-life theme, and doing live painting demonstrations during parish talks and retreats. They\u2019ve also led workshops for adults, held in-home painting parties for couples, and hosted events for the whole family (at one recent Parish Family Night, Called to Create members taught families how to create a family crest). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The apostolate also works with youth in its \u201cJunior League,\u201d where young, budding artists are paired with an adult mentor. Most recently, the Junior League held a workshop on the theme of hope, based on Romans 6, with the young participants creating paintings using the anchor, the historical icon of hope, as their inspiration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There is one Called to Create initiative that is especially close to Laura\u2019s heart; her group created twelve original paintings from photographs that she and her husband had taken in Nicaragua, where her son, Father Dismas Kline, CFR, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal, is currently stationed. In order to provide financial support for the many apostolates that the Nicaraguan Franciscans are involved in, the group sold notecards of the artwork, and held an online auction for the twelve original pieces. At the annual Called to Create retreat last October, when the group shared the work that they had been doing for the Franciscans, the retreat participants spontaneously took up a collection amongst themselves and gave it to Laura to send to Nicaragua. \u201cI was overwhelmed with their generosity and zeal for the faith,\u201d says Laura. \u201cGod is good\u2026 all the time!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One popular activity that the group hopes to be hosting a lot more of these days is <i>plein air<\/i> painting; typically, participants meet for Mass and then head out for an outdoor painting session. \u201cThis may be happening more and more with the social distancing we have all had to adhere to,\u201d says Laura. Plans for the annual retreat in October are underway, and while organizers are hoping that participants can attend in person, they\u2019re also making plans for an online format if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For Laura, seeing the fruits of her vision of combining her love for art with her zeal for her faith has drawn her closer to God, and even enriched her other ministry: she also serves as a Spiritual Guide for Regnum Christi. \u201cMy own faith has been enhanced throughout this whole process by the joy I see on the faces of the artists as they employ the talents God has given them to spread His kingdom,\u201d says Laura.\u00a0\u201cI&#8217;m energized and spurred on to the next creative idea and never tire of finding ways to encourage others to find what it is that God is calling them to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To find out more about the Called to Create apostolate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/catholicartistconference\/\"><span class=\"s2\">visit them on Facebook<\/span><\/a>, or email calledtocreatelouisville@gmail.com.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist and educator, Laura Kline, always had a vision of combining her God-given creative talents with her Catholic faith.
