Weekly Reflection

Dedication of the Lateran Basilica

11-09-2025 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

Why celebrate the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome?

First, because it is the Episcopal Seat (the Cathedral) of the Pope as the Bishop of Rome. And so, this Church is the “Mother and Head of all Churches in Rome and the World,” according to the inscription which Pope Clement XII (1730-1740) placed in the Church.
