ATLANTIC CITY - Capella Studio at St. Monica Parish, 15, N. California Ave., is holding its first Open House 2-6 p.m. Saturday, March 21. The Lenten Encounter Through Sacred Art will feature a lecture by Anthony Visco on St. Francis of Assisi and a sacred art sculpture demonstration by renowned Maryland artist Rick Casali.
