Radiating the light of Christ
through spirituality, art and community
All for the Greater Glory of God. A space where prayer, creation and service to others echo one another.
"Radiating the light of Christ through spirituality, art and community — All for the Greater Glory of God"
Art d'Echo by Jacky was born of a deep journey of faith. Its calling is to reflect the light of Christ it has received and to spread it in many forms: spiritual works (spiritual accompaniment), artistic, intellectual, and manual works — living testimonies, channels of thanksgiving to God, and of hope offered to the world.
Our mission
To accompany, awaken, and gather through spirituality, art, and social action — so that each person touched may in turn receive and reflect the light of Christ. Art d'Echo by Jacky is meant to be a space where prayer, creation, and service to others echo one another, and where every work becomes a living testimony of faith and hope.
Our vision
To become, in Calgary and around the world, a place of reference where spirituality, art, and social outreach come together to build living, united communities that carry hope; where every talent, every vulnerability, and every prayer finds its place in service of the Whole, for the Greater Glory of God.
Our values
Eight foundations lived out daily in every project, every encounter, and every work of the organization.
Faith
Every action draws its source from a living, intimate relationship with Christ and his Spirit; it guides every decision, every project, and every encounter.
Humility
The gateway to all other values. It allows us to recognize that everything comes from God and puts us at the service of others with simplicity.
Forgiveness
The foundation of all true progress, the root of the love to be shown through ongoing reconciliation with oneself, God, and others.
Hope
The light received is meant to be passed on; every work, however modest, carries a promise of hope.
Charity and Service
A concrete expression of Christ's love for others, especially for the most vulnerable and isolated.
Creation and Beauty
Art, in all its forms, is a spiritual language in its own right — a channel of thanksgiving and a witness to the presence of God.
Communion
Bringing together, in a shared momentum, the spiritual, intellectual, artistic, and manual gifts of each person, in respect of the diversity of paths of faith and life.
Excellence in the Service of God
Every project is carried out with rigor, integrity, and concern for the common good, as an offering.
