Faith Matters is a bi-weekly Basilica of Saint Mary podcast that features conversations with Father Edward Hathaway, the Rector of the Basilica, on topics of interest to Basilica parishioners and the Universal Church. Today's episode centers on Father Hathaway reflecting on the meaning and importance of spending leisure time during the summer, using German philosopher's Josef Pieper's classic book on the subject as a starting point.

Also, the 12:10 p.m. Masses will be held in our Lyceum Auditorium, 313 Duke Street, from July 8-11 and July 14-18, 2025, due to the new organ installation in the church. Click here to get more details.
