Any Catholic who’s ever spent much time in St. Louis will tell you that the city’s cathedral basilica is a must-see. Its mosaics collectively contain 41.5 million glass tesserae pieces in more than 7,000 colors. Covering 83,000 square feet, it’s one of the largest mosaic collections in the world. The parish’s rector, Monsignor Joseph Pins, is nearly as colorful as the basilica he’s in charge of. He is beloved by local Legates for his kind demeanor and for helping establish the chapter.

There is something truly transformative about the Gospel. It’s the most liberating message ever proclaimed because it proposes true freedom, something the world — in all its created glory — is unable to give. Above all, the Gospel message resonates in the human heart. And why shouldn’t it? The Lord created us to long for union with Him!
