Holy Cross College Visual Arts Professor Stephen Barany, MDiv, MFA, is receiving national attention for his new children’s book, Alphabet Parade: An Alliterative Alphabet Adventure.

Barany was recently featured in the National Catholic Register, the Catholic Artist Connection, and The Fulfillment Project podcast, where he discussed the Catholic imagination and the role of beauty in forming young minds.

In the interviews, Barany reflects on how Alphabet Parade invites children to explore creation with wonder and attentiveness—values deeply connected to the Holy Cross tradition of educating both heart and mind.
