November 9, 2023: Feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran Basilica

Today's feast celebrates the dedication of the church that has the seat of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, and so is the Mother Church of the universal church.

Any church has meaning because of the body of people who gather there, as God builds us into a community.  Joined together, we make God present to the world.  As we open ourselves to transformation by His power, we show to the world that God is alive in Christ and is bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth.
