A Call to Preserve Beauty, Faith, and Legacy


The beauty of God, the holiness of saints, and the Christian faith have been displayed by the Vatican Museums for centuries. World-renowned artists and sculptors have used sacred art to speak across cultures, inspiring awe and reflection in millions.

We invite you to join us for an evening of grace and mission. We hope you will join us in Hong Kong and Singapore for our 10th Anniversary Fundraising Dinner to launch 2026.

We are fortunate to have our special guests of honour join us for this spiritual undertaking:

Hong Kong, 16 January 2026
  • Monsignor José Díaz-Mariblanca Sánchez — Head of the Study Mission in Hong Kong
  • Monsignor Terence Hogan, SLD — Coordinator of the Office of Relations with the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums (ORPAVM).
Singapore, 18 January 2026
  • His Excellency Archbishop Marek Zalewski — Apostolic Nuncio to the Republic of Singapore
  • Monsignor Marinko Antolovic — First Counsellor, Apostolic Nunciature in Singapore
  • Monsignor Terence Hogan, SLD — Coordinator of the Office of Relations with the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums (ORPAVM).

Evangelisation is not solely proclaimed through words. It is revealed through beauty. Through sacred art, believers and seekers experience God's mystery, mercy, and majesty in ways that words alone cannot. By preserving Vatican Christian artworks, we maintain their message for future generations.

Because you are patrons and friends of APAVM, your support truly matters. Each contribution helps safeguard priceless works that draw seven million visitors annually, making the Vatican Museums one of the world’s three most visited museums—and a global beacon of Catholic heritage. God's grace touches countless hearts through these masterpieces, often in unseen yet deeply transformative ways.

This mission is not merely cultural; it is spiritual. It is our answer to God's call—to manage His gifts and leave a legacy of faith that speaks through the ages and is never forgotten.

Help us continue to respond to God’s call. May your actions protect the Vatican Museums' beauty, guiding hearts to Him.

Become a restorer of beauty…
a keeper of the faith…
and a steward of this eternal legacy.

“Harmony in Faith and Science” Lecture Series

SERIES OF 6 LECTURES FROM 12 June – 17 July 2021

APAVM organised a very successful series of lectures entitled “Harmony in Faith and Science” over 6 Saturdays from 12 June – 17 July 2021.

Due to the pandemic, the lectures were delivered via Zoom. Although audience members and speakers could not be with each other in the same room, the lack of physical proximity and interaction was made up by being able to reach an international audience.
