About us
Our Mission
Seek What Is Above is a Catholic initiative based on Colossians 3:1-2, encouraging people to lift their minds and hearts to God. We aim to uplift souls on the road to Heaven through exposure to truth, beauty, and goodness, particularly through sacred art in the Christian tradition. Modern culture often seeks to redefine or disvalue these three principles, but we turn to them as a way of seeking God. Our mission is to invite people to do the same.
Beauty is at the heart of our mission, as it allows people to encounter truth and goodness in a tangible way. All earthly beauty reminds us of the eternal life awaiting us in the grandeur of Heaven with God, who is Beauty. In particular, we strive to point people toward Heaven through sacred art—an especially rich and unique earthly expression of heavenly beauty.
“Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.”
— Colossians 3:2 —
Our Patron
"The Church needs art, and art needs the Church." This conviction, expressed by our patron, Pope St. John Paul II, in his Letter to Artists (1999), continues to inspire our mission. More than twenty-five years after its publication, the letter remains one of the Church's most important reflections on art, beauty, and the vocation of the artist. Inspired by John Paul II's vision, we are committed to sharing the rich treasury of Catholic sacred art so that it may continue to do what it has done throughout history: point people toward Heaven.
Our Founder
In 2023, Margaret founded Seek What Is Above to publish The Gospel with Sacred Art. The mission has since then expanded to sharing the beauty of sacred art through other means. Margaret holds a B.A. in Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville. She enjoys studying art history and writing about what she’s learning in light of the Catholic faith.
