American Dream: A Journey With Some American Saints is a voyage in the company of a group of American saints through space and time, criss-crossing the immense North American continent and spreading across four centuries. The exhibit was created by a group of university students and professors from the United States, Canada, and Switzerland who, out of an interest in understanding what holiness amounts to, studied the lives and works of a selection of saints from North America. Our reading and discussion brought us to a better knowledge of our own history, and of our very selves. The exhibit's title American Dream is intended to be provocative: we aim to show that running through the history of North America are the stories of men and women who dreamed of bringing Jesus to this land, and who, by doing so, began to build up a new humanity.
