Frank Kacmarcik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frank Kacmarcik (1920-2004) was an American designer, in later life a Benedictine Oblate, and a leader in the liturgical movement.

"He worked as a full-time consultant in church design, printing, and the graphic arts. In addition to becoming one of the most influential voices in church design following the Second Vatican Council, he also designed for Benziger Brothers' publishing house many of the first generation of Catholic liturgical books in English in implementation of the council's call for a vernacular liturgy. In these books, he introduced a reform toward a simpler, more legible style."
