Anniversary of the Dedication of the Upper Church

Posted on by Bryan Boyle

As a Shrine Church we are canonically required to celebrate the anniversary of the church’s dedication. Our great upper Church was solemnly dedicated on July 4, 1906 in the presence of the Apostolic Delegate His Excellency Diomede Falconio. Join us this year as we mark this anniversary with a Holy Mass of Thanksgiving on Sunday July 3, 2022 at 3:00PM. All are welcome!
