CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
The
Dahl Arts Center
is very pleased to be a part of an incredible event and we would
like to pass on a once in a lifetime experience to you. Rapid City
will host the exhibition “A Blessing to One Another: Pope John
Paul II and the Jewish People” from May 2 through August 18,
2008.
This is a
first-of-its-kind exhibit of photos and artifacts documenting the
extraordinary contribution of Pope John Paul II to relations between
the Catholic and Jewish faiths. He has arguably done more for
interreligious relationships than any other person in history. This
exhibit is important as a model of tolerance to all people in
today’s world, where much of the discord we see, globally and
locally, is rooted in religious difference and conflict.
Visitors will
have an opportunity to walk through various stages of the pope’s
life, including his childhood in Wadowice, Poland: his young
adulthood in Krakow during the Nazi occupation; and his public
ministry as priest, bishop, cardinal, and pope. There will also be
an interactive area where visitors can write prayers, in emulation
of the pope’s action during his state visit to Israel, which
ultimately will be taken to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
This is an
international exhibit that opened in Cincinnati, Ohio, at Xavier
University and has traveled to major cities beginning with
Washington, D.C. and eventually will find its home in Jerusalem.
Volunteers will
have the opportunity to be part of one of the most powerful exhibits
to visit Rapid City and play an essential role in its success.
Whether you are able to volunteer one day or all summer, we hope you
join the community in such a worthy endeavor.
