DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
November 9, 2014
Today the Church celebrates the feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome.
The Basilica of St. John Lateran is the cathedral of Rome. This is not St. Peter's, but it is
the Pope's cathedral. Also called the Church of Holy Savior or the Church of St. John
Baptist, it was the baptism church of ancient Rome. It was built in the time of Constantine
and was consecrated by Pope Sylvester in 324. This feast became a universal celebration
in honor of the basilica called "the mother and mistress of all churches of Rome and the
world" (omnium urbis et orbis ecclesiarum mater et caput) as a sign of love for and union
with the See of Peter.
Dear friends, today’s feast celebrates a mystery that is always relevant: God’s desire to
build a spiritual temple in the world, a community that worships Him in spirit and truth
(cf. John 4:23-24). But this observance also reminds us of the importance of the material
buildings in which the community gathers to celebrate the praises of God. Every
community therefore has the duty to take special care of its own sacred buildings, which
are a precious religious and historical patrimony. For this we call upon the intercession of
Mary Most Holy, that she help us to become, like her, the “house of God,” living temple
of His love.
— Benedict XVI, Angelus Address, November 9, 2008
SAINT PATRICK’S BASILICA RESTORATION FOUNDATION
Since Saint Patrick’s Day of 2012 we have been appealing to you to help us raise
$500,000 to cover financial overruns in previous restoration projects and to raise
money to help finance urgent repairs to our small towers or
Pinnacle Project and our Chimney Project.
To date we have collected $250,810 and thank you for your
generosity.
The Pinnacle Project was completed in December 2013. We thank
the Conseil du Patrimoine Religieux du Quebec for funding 70% of
the cost and Parks Canada for a grant of $100,000 under their
Cost-Sharing program for National Historic Sites. Next on the list
is the chimney BUT we still need to reach our goal of $500,000
in order complete the project and help with cash flow.
We need your help, please make your donation to the Saint Patrick’s Restoration
Foundation where the full amount is put towards restoring our Basilica. All
donations will receive a receipt for income tax purposes.
Thank you, Mary McGovern mcgovern@stpatricksmtl.ca

NOVEMBER – THE MONTH OF REMEMBRANCE
The Church has a long tradition of remembering those who have passed on to the love
and mercy of God. We do this in a special way on the Feast of All Souls, November 2,
and throughout the month of November. Here at St. Patrick’s, we have the Names of the
Dead placed in the Sanctuary of the Basilica where they will remain to be remembered
throughout the month of November, and at masses throughout the year. The following
prayer is recommended throughout this month in private and communal recitation:
“Eternal Life grant to them, O Lord.
May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”

ST. PATRICK’S BASILICA VOLUNTEERS
This is a reminder to all parishioners, of the ministry that St. Patrick’s offers in the name
of putting others first for the sake of the Kingdom. There are numerous volunteer groups,
whose service forms part of our mission and raison d’être of the Parish of St. Patrick. A
luncheon is given during the Christmas season for our volunteers, at which time gifts
donated by parishioners are drawn. If you would like to donate a token of your
appreciation for their efforts, you may contact St. Patrick’s Office at 514-866-7379, for
