Celebrating the First Christian Church
This weekend, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Dedication of the Lateran
Basilica, the first Christian church ever built and the mother church of all Christendom. As with many things, this celebration represents so much more than just the dedication of a
building.
As most people know, Christianity was not legal in the Roman empire for the first three centuries.
Ironically, they were typically persecuted as atheists. The Romans were very religious people and the
well-being of the empire depended on keeping the gods happy. When things went wrong, the Christians were often seen as the source problem because they would not sacrifice to the Roman gods.
However, all that changed early in the fourth century during the civil war between Maxentius and
his younger brother Constantine. On October 28, 312, Constantine’s forces were massed outside the
city. That night, Constantine had a dream. In this dream he saw a large gleaming cross in the clouds
and heard a voice say, “In hoc signum vincet!” (With this sign, conquer!) The story goes that Constantine then had the cross affixed to all the battle standards. When the two forces met at the Milvian
bridge, Maxentius’ horse slipped on the rocks and he was thrown onto the riverbank and fractured his
skull. With the death of their leader, Maxentius’ forces were defeated soundly.
Constantine attributed his victory to the intervention of the Christian God and as a gesture of gratitude, he legalized Christianity and built four large basilicas in the city, the first of which was the basilica in an area known as the Lateran. The structure was completed and dedicated on this day in 313,
under the patronage of Sts. John the Baptist and John the Evangelist. It has always been the Cathedral of Rome. The building has undergone some repairs over the last 1700 years, the Lateran Basilica
is essentially the same as it was the day it was built.
So in celebrating the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, we celebrate ourselves and the power of
the God of History to build up his Church at all times and in all circumstances. Happy feast!
Pastoral Council Update—In your pews you will notice a nomination form for the At-Large members
for the Pastoral Council. After prayerful discernment, please take a moment to nominate two people to serve on the
council. As mentioned each committee or team of ministries has already selected their members. In addition, two atlarge members will be chosen from the parish and two more will be appointed by the pastor, bringing the total membership to twelve. Pastoral Council members will serve for three year staggered terms.

On Veterans Day we honor all, who answered to a service call.
Soldiers young, and soldiers old, fought for freedom, brave and bold.
Some have lived while others died, and all of them deserve our pride.
We’re proud of all the soldiers who, kept thinking of red, white and blue.
They fought for us and all our rights, they fought through many days and nights.
And though we may not know each name, we thank ALL veterans just the same.
