"The Joy of Self-Denial" with Father Edward Hathaway

The Basilica of Saint Mary's Rector, Father Edward Hathaway, offered a reflection on the joy of self-denial at our parish Lenten Day of Recollection on March 7, 2020 at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine in Washington, D.C. 

Founded in 1795, the Basilica of Saint Mary in Old Town Alexandria is the first Catholic parish established in Virginia. Pope Francis named the church a minor basilica on December 6, 2017 due to its important role in the growth of the Catholic Church in North America.
