Why the Lateran Basilica Matters: Unity with the Pope – Nov 09 – Homily – Fr Ignatius
Views 22
Fr. Ignatius M. Manfredonia gives the homily from Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, for the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome, on Nov 09, 2025, on the historical and theological significance of the Lateran Basilica as the “mother and head of all churches.”
Father reflects on the unity of the Church under the Bishop of Rome and our place as living stones within the mystical Body of Christ, shaped by the Holy Spirit to fit our place in God’s spiritual edifice.
Ave Maria!
