This exhibition celebrated the uniquely rich and important story and contributions of the Catholic in America, and was a fundraiser for The Catholic University of America. In addition to portraits, busts, and historic documents, ecclesiastical vestments belonging to John Carroll from the 18th century and James Cardinal Gibbons were a focal point of the exhibit.

Presenting these rare and historic vestments, several haveing been put on display for the first time, necessitated cleaning and stabilization of selective textiles, as well as the overall design of temporary gallery spaces and fabrication of customized mounts and mannequins.
