Can a camera reveal God hiding in plain sight?
Sister Rose Marie Tulacz, SND, is a nun and Catholic photographer on a mission to capture divine beauty, wonder, and grace all over the world. Celebrating 50 years of religious life as a Sister of Notre Dame, Sister Rose Marie shares how her vocation, faith, and passion for sacred art photography come together to help others encounter God through creation.
In this episode of Creating Sacred Beauty, Sr. Rose Marie takes us behind the lens and into the heart of her sacred art photography ministry. We’re talking wild horses charging at her in Marseille, flamingos at golden hour, wading waist-deep in marsh water — all in pursuit of that one shot that tells the story of God’s love in nature, people, and the world.
She shares how she got her start with a borrowed camera at an earthquake-damaged parish, why she looks for light most people miss, and what three questions she believes every person needs to ask themselves when discerning their calling.
Whether you’re an artist trying to figure out how faith and art fit together, a young person discerning a religious vocation, or a parent raising kids who see the world a little differently, this one is for you.
