Join the NovenaBeginning June 3, join us for nine days of prayer and special reflections inspired by the stunning mosaics of our Cathedral Basilica.
Join the NovenaVast and intricate all at once, the Cathedral Basilica is an unrivaled jewel of the Church, and indeed, of all architecture. Its beautiful mosaics serve as inspirations for the reflections that accompany this novena.
Each day, Novena participants will receive an email featuring a recording of the Novena Prayer led by different members of our Archdiocesan community--the individuals that help make up the beautiful, living mosaic of our local church!
In addition, participants will receive daily, short reflections inspired by different mosaics in the Cathedral Basilica, as well as a chance to explore that mosaic's artistic and cultural context. This prayerful series will offer a closer look at this world-class architectural treasure and a unique encounter with the history of our Archdiocese, which this year celebrates its 200th anniversary!
The emails will only be sent to those who opt in, so be sure to sign up now.
For all its artistic value, the Cathedral Basilica is no museum piece—it is a spiritual field hospital, a refuge for souls, and an invitation, through beauty, to contemplate the Divine. The might and grace of soaring arches and the delicate and intricate beauty of the mosaics serve a far greater purpose, and the very walls of this building are nothing short of an encounter with the sacred.
Every corner of this church speaks Christ. Each and every soul that enters the Cathedral Basilica is met with an invitation into a greater relationship with Our Lord.
