Lydwine is a vision of the arts, broadly Catholic, devoted to pursuing and preserving sacramental imagination in an increasingly Antichristic culture.
Emphasizing nuance, originality, and the longue durée, Lydwine delights in stories and struggles ignored by others — stories from the margins, of saints, near saints, and ne'er-do-wells, the visions of a fallen world remade and re-enchanted through imagination, then brought to perfection through the generous gift of God's grace.
Our patroness, Saint Lydwine of Schiedam, is emblematic of the approach we favor — a holy victim of the Middle Ages whose sufferings and visions are almost too bizarre to be believed, and so passed over by most in favor of more anodyne sanctity. It's been in embracing such outliers of the Christian imagination that we've uncovered the work that, vocationally speaking, we feel most called to pursue.
Or, simply: Imagination for the Remnant.
