Happy Feast of the Dedication of the the Basilica of St. John Lateran!

The full title of Rome’s cathedral, which is around the corner from my house and where I often attend daily mass, is the Archbasilica Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist in the Lateran. It is the mother-church of all churches.

Enjoy a virtual tour here.

I know Thursdays I am supposed to be writing a series on sports, but for 2 weeks in a row I’ve been unable to play – last week for personal unavailability, today for the first dismal Roman rains of the season. Yuck.
