THE MICHELANGELO LEGACY
The mission of the Michelangelo Legacy is to bring to fruition Michelangelo’s grand vision of sharing his works with the world by placing Michelangelo's pieces (especially the Pietà) in churches or locations around the world as beacons of light and love for all who experience these incredible masterpieces.
One of the ways the Catholic Loyalty Foundation can continue its mission is to promote, perpetuate, and proliferate The Michelangelo Legacy. To achieve this goal, Catholic Loyalty Foundation works with churches and non-profit organizations that become "Legacy Locations" to promote their involvement, assist with publicity and fundraising, help attract guests from all over, and survey those who come to experience the beauty of this divinely-inspired masterpiece.
Together, we can make the Michelangelo Legacy touch the world with love and beauty, we can leave a lasting legacy for generations to come, and all of us can become part of history.
PROMOTING THE MICHELANGELO LEGACY & ITS LEGACY LOCATIONS
The Catholic Loyalty Foundation will work with your organization to:
-
Promote your church as a Legacy Location which will attract more visitors and donations similar to the way people go on a Pilgrimage to Italy to see Michelangelo's sculptures. For example, one Legacy Location has become a new bus tour stop where passengers get the opportunity to experience and enjoy Michelangelo's art and are inspired to make donations to support the churches involvement in the legacy.
-
Conduct surveys of guests who visit your Legacy Location and experience the Pieta
-
Acquire interviews, written testimonies, videos and broadcast media to promote your Legacy Location to a global community
-
Promote your Legacy Location and involvement in The Michelangelo Legacy via social media, E-Newsletters, websites and other marketing outlets
-
Broadcast Legacy information via News/Press Releases, Mailings, E-mails, Phone Calls
-
Inform and acquire donors to help expand the influence of the Michelangelo Legacy mission
-
Assist in planning your unveiling ceremony of the masterpiece
