Father Edward Hathaway, the Rector at the Basilica, shares a homily during The Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. It was given in the Basilica on June 14, 2026.   

Part 2 of Joe Stopulos's Uncommon Good interview with Dr. Bud Maher picks up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Joe is studying at Marquette University — attending daily Mass during Lent (sometimes before the bar closed), seeking out every Jesuit professor he could find, and slowly beginning to ask why the Church teaches what it teaches. Highlights include: College Faith in the Real World: Joe reflects on attending a 10 p.m. Sunday Mass while most of his friend group wasn't practicing. He describes going to daily Mass every day of Lent in college — including a legendary St. Patrick's Day that started at 5:50 a.m. outside a bar and still included 6:30 a.m. Mass. A perfect encapsulation of where he was spiritually. Meeting His First Protestant at 25: A friendship with a Methodist minister friend forced Joe to actually articulate why Catholics do what they do — confession, the sacraments, all of it. He couldn't answer from Scripture. That sent him to CatholicAnswers.com, and every answer he found only deepened his conviction. Father John Ricardo Changes Everything: Introduced to Iowa Catholic Radio through friend John Leonetti (whom Joe famously told "nobody listens to Catholic radio"), Joe started tuning in to Father Ricardo at 11 a.m. and never stopped. He began burning CDs of Ricardo's talks to hand out. Combined with Jeff Cavins' Bible Timeline study and Scott Hahn's The Lamb's Supper, this launched a roughly 24-month transformation that Joe describes as the turning point of his adult faith. The Origin of Man Up: Joe shares how his early on-air appearances during Iowa Catholic Radio fundraisers eventually led to a standing show — made possible, he says, by the theological confidence and credibility of his original co-host, Father Zach. Now approaching 10 years and 400+ episodes, Man Up remains one of the network's cornerstone programs. Life at the Basilica of Saint John: Joe talks about the thriving parish community at Saint John's Basilica in Des Moines, the pastoral transition from the beloved Father Quinn to Father Trevor Sequin, and why surrounding yourself with friends striving for virtue is one of the three most important decisions a man can make. Saint Thomas Classical Academy: Joe highlights this homeschool hybrid co-op as one of the great gifts of his family's life in Des Moines. A major event is coming up — Bishop Conley will be the keynote speaker on October 20th, focusing on his devotion to Saint John Henry Newman. Don't miss it. Hope for the Future of the Church: Joe closes with optimism — men are returning to the Church, communities are growing, and the Forge Conference is proof. As Joe puts it: if Joe Rogan's going to church, a lot of people are going to church. Next week on Man Up: Joe re-airs a two-part interview he recorded with his father during the Heroic Fatherhood series — a tribute to the man he calls the greatest of his life.

A quattrocento anni dalla nascita di Giovanni Legrenzi, avvenuta nel 1626 a Clusone, la città natale del compositore gli rende omaggio con un festival monografico concepito in una prospettiva pluriennale. Attraverso concerti, incontri di studio e iniziative divulgative, la manifestazione intende valorizzare la figura di uno dei protagonisti della musica italiana del secondo Seicento e approfondire il contesto storico e culturale nel quale si sviluppò la sua produzione.Ammirato dai contemporanei e stimato da musicisti quali Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Händel e Johann Adolf Hasse, Legrenzi fu tra le personalità più influenti del tardo Seicento. Erede della tradizione veneziana e al tempo stesso innovatore del linguaggio musicale dell'epoca, concluse la propria carriera come maestro di cappella della Basilica di San Marco, incarico che ne consacrò il prestigio nella storia della musica sacra italiana.Alla riscoperta moderna della sua opera ha contribuito in modo decisivo l'attività di Giovanni Acciai, che con l'ensemble Nova Ars Cantandi ha promosso importanti progetti discografici dedicati al compositore. Tra questi si colloca la pubblicazione per Naxos dell'Op. 3, Harmonia d'affetti devoti, raccolta emblematica della maturità legrenziana, nella quale convergono sapienza contrappuntistica, intensità espressiva e raffinatezza del linguaggio sacro.Di questo nuovo progetto discografico e dell'eredità artistica di Legrenzi dialoga Giovanni Conti con il maestro Acciai.

National Indigenous Peoples Month in Canada pays tribute to Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-80). At age 19, after converting to Catholicism and taking a vow of perpetual virginity, Kateri left her Mohawk village of Ossernenon in present-day New York State and moved to the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake, just south of Montreal, Canada. There she died five years later, respected for her piety and good works. She was beatified in 1980 by Pope John Paul II, and canonized as a Saint by Pope Benedict XVI at St. Peter's Basilica in 2012.

Misa Coral de Cabildo, 10 de junio de 2026, desde la Basilica de Guadalupe en Ciudad de México.

Francesca Nodari"Filosofi lungo l'Oglio"www.filosofilungologlio.itASCOLTARE32 incontri in 24 comuni italianitra Brescia, Bergamo e CremonaScopri tutto il programma sul sito del festival.Partita con successo la XXI edizione del Festival Filosofi lungo l'Oglio, Kermesse culturale diretta dalla professoressa e filosofa levinasiana Francesca Nodari, che anche quest'anno porterà lungo il fiume Oglio filosofi, studiosi e intellettuali di rilievo nazionale e internazionale, protagonisti di incontri, conferenze e dibattiti. Dopo l'inaugurazione di giovedì 4 giugno con la lezione, davvero magistrale, del Prof. Zagrebelsky il Festival prosegue fino a martedì 28 luglio proponendo 32 appuntamenti in 24 municipalità tra le province di Brescia, Bergamo e Cremona: un'agorà itinerante per esplorare insieme la profondità dell'Ascoltare.Mercoledì 10 giugno alle ore 21 sarà la volta di Enzo Bianchi, che è atteso a Gardone Val Trompia (BS), nel cortile di Villa Mutti Bernardelli in via XX Settembre 31 per la sua lectio: Ascolto, dunque, sono. Fondatore della Comunità Monastica di Bose, di cui è stato Priore fino al 25 gennaio 2017, ha dato vita alla Casa della Madia, inaugurata il 9 settembre 2023, fraternità monastica di cui oggi è autorevole membro. Enzo Bianchi è una delle voci monastiche più autorevoli e ascoltate della contemporaneità, autore di una sterminata bibliografia e autorevole membro del Comitato scientifico del Festival Filosofi lungo l'Oglio.La settimana si concluderà venerdì 17 giugno alle ore 21 con la lectio di Marco Bartoli, Francesco d'Assisi: l'arte dell'incontro, che si terrà a Orzinuovi (BS) nella Chiesa di S. Maria Assunta, in piazza Vittorio Emanuele II. Professore di Storia medievale e di Storia del Francescanesimo presso l'Università LUMSA, è considerato uno dei massimi studiosi del pensiero, del messaggio e della storia di San Francesco, di cui quest'anno ricorre l'ottavo centenario del Transito (1226/2026). Bartoli illustrerà al pubblico come gli incontri vissuti da Francesco d'Assisi abbiano trasformato la sua umanità, delineando una vera “antropologia dell'incontro”.Lunedì 15 giugno alle ore 21 lo studioso di mistica speculativa Marco Vannini discuterà di: “Dum quietum silentium…”: Ascoltare la Parola nel silenzio a Orzivecchi (BS), nel giardino del Palazzo Municipale, via Martinengo 15. Il tema della lectio sarà il silenzio interiore nella tradizione mistica come condizione per la nascita della Parola (Logos) nell'anima e per l'incontro con la luce divina, secondo l'insegnamento di Meister Eckhart, di cui Vannini ha tradotto l'intera opera latina e tedesca.Per la serata di martedì 16 giugno alle ore 21 è attesissima Michela Marzano, che terrà la lectio dal titolo: Dove il silenzio parla: fare spazio all'altro a Pontevico (BS) nella Chiesetta di Santa Maria in Ripa d'Oglio, via Ponticella. Professoressa di Filosofia morale, Marzano rifletterà sull'ascolto autentico come apertura all'alterità e al silenzio, soprattutto dei giovani, quale condizione per costruire relazioni profonde e significative.Anche in questa occasione saranno esposte le opere finaliste del contest artistico in collaborazione con l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Brescia Santa Giulia.Mercoledì 17 giugno alle 21 il Festival si sposterà per la prima volta a Verolanuova (BS) nella monumentale Basilica di San Lorenzo Martire, in piazza Malvestiti, per la lectio del grande medico e Professore di Neuroscienze Cognitive presso l'Università di Edimburgo, Sergio Della Sala: Perché dimentichiamo. Ascoltare l'oblio. Un'occasione per sfatare alcuni miti sul funzionamento del cervello, mostrando il ruolo essenziale dell'oblio nella memoria e approfondendo temi come false memorie, bias cognitivi e apprendimento.L'incontro, per chi lo desiderasse, sarà anticipato dalla lezione (rigorosamente dalle ore 19.30 alle ore 20.30) delle guide della Basilica che ospita due tele immense, le più grandi mai dipinte da Giambattista Tiepolo. La prima rappresenta Il sacrificio di Melchisedec, re e sacerdote nell'antica Gerusalemme. Il secondo dipinto racconta l'episodio della Caduta della manna, il “cibo degli angeli” disceso per volere di Dio sul deserto per salvare gli israeliti dopo la fuga dall'Egitto e la liberazione dalla schiavitù. Una pittura ariosa, traboccante di luce, una straordinaria tavolozza di colori e una fervida creatività compositiva caratterizzano entrambe le scene, in cui la tecnica e l'inventiva del maestro emergono in tutta l'esuberante raffinatezza.Per info e prenotazioni contattare: info@tiepoloverolanuova.it oppure whatsapp +39 3382668622.Mercoledì 10 giugno - ore 21.00Enzo BianchiAscolto, dunque, sono  Gardone Val Trompia (BS)Cortile Villa Mutti Bernardelli, via XX Settembre 31In caso di maltempo: Sala V.

National Indigenous Peoples Month in Canada celebrates an Iroquois maiden born in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon, in present-day New York State, Saint Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-80) and her family contracted smallpox in an epidemic; she was the only one of the family to survive, but had scarring on her face. She was influenced by French Jesuit missionaries and converted to Catholicism at age 19. After taking a vow of perpetual virginity, she left her village, and moved to the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake, just south of Montreal, Canada. There she died five years later, respected for her piety and good works.

For the first time since starting her business in 2012, Kelly went fully off social media: no apps, no posting in real time, no messaging, for two straight weeks while traveling through Italy with her family. This episode is the story of what happened while she was gone, and why it's the clearest proof yet of what breaking founder dependence actually looks like. She also shares the wild backstory of The Miracle Hour book launch: a pivot from audiobook to physical book, a last-minute realization that the sales numbers would anchor the negotiation for The Sacred Art of Selling, and a sprint that sold 4,000+ copies in two months (what typically takes 18), landing the book at #30 on the USA Today list and #10 in nonfiction, and how that momentum set up the traditional publishing deal for The Sacred Art of Selling. She closes on God's timing: six years of wanting this trip, and the deep conviction that it happened exactly when it was meant to (including a highlight moment hearing mass at St. Peter's Basilica).  In this episode: The 2-week, fully-offline test and what the team produced self-led Why a sales system is the heartbeat of every business The Miracle Hour book launch story and the Sacred Art of Selling deal Why founder dependence is fueling an entrepreneur mental health crisis The Italy lessons: presence, simplicity, social connection, less excess Getting intentional about phones, content, and creating from a clear head God's timing, Kairos, and trusting the bigger plan Timestamps: 02:15 — What the team accomplished self-led: sales, revenue, #1 on Substack, brand deals 04:00 — The Miracle Hour book: from audiobook plan to physical book 05:30 — Why the numbers mattered: setting up the Sacred Art of Selling deal 06:45 — 4,000 copies in 2 months, USA Today #30, #10 in nonfiction 08:30 — Gratitude for the "village" that made the launch possible 09:45 — The real prize: watching the team break founder dependence with the Miracle Hour 11:30 — A sales system is the heartbeat of a business (and the entrepreneur mental health crisis) 13:00 — Teaching Miracle Hour sessions in communities every week for the next year 14:30 — Word of the year: presence, and why this trip was different 16:00 — Italy lesson 1: appreciating the little things 17:15 — Italy lesson 2: how social and present the Italians are vs. the US 18:30 — Italy lesson 3: excess vs. simplicity 20:00 — Constant connection, unproductive stress, and the content-phone idea 21:30 — Six years of wanting this trip and the lesson in God's timing / Kairos 23:00 — The Vatican, St. Peter's dome, and mass with Billy and Madison Resources & Mentions Grab your copy of  USA Today best-selling book, The Miracle Hour: Predictable Sales in An Hour A Day: https://a.co/d/02O95ydn  ollow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial/ Follow Kelly on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.roach.520/ Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyroachint/ Join our next Legacy Leaders Retreat happening August 31st-September 1st in Boca Raton, FL: https://join.thebusinessadvisory.com/legacyexperiencesept Subscribe to Kelly's Substack newsletter: https://kellyroachofficial.substack.com/subscribe

In the Spring of 2020, author and host Stephanie Georgieff attempted to publish her second book The Virgin of Guadalupe, Mysterious Messenger of Destiny. We know now, this was a difficult time due to the pandemic of that year which stretched on for several following years. This episode is a reading of one of the chapters where Georgieff visits the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City during the Festival of Guadalupe in December, as well as her experience of the same festival at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. As the book is being revised, the new material is artfully presented in a course through Teachable. This episode is an introduction to the course and a stand alone celebration of modern encounters with The Virgin of Guadalupe.

Father John Meyerhofer, a Parochial Vicar at the Basilica, shares a homily during Pentecost Sunday. It was given in the Basilica on May 24, 2026. 

Time may be the most silent material in architecture. And yet, it is everywhere.In this episode, I invite you to reflect on our relationship with time through the lens of architecture. At a moment when environmental concerns, climate challenges, and debates about the future of our territories are reshaping our societies, how can we move beyond simplistic oppositions between generations, between heritage and creation, between preservation and transformation?From the Basilica of Saint-Denis to the Tate Modern, from the memory embedded in places to the challenges of long-term thinking, I share a personal reflection shaped by years of research, professional practice, and conversations with architects.Because architecture is not only an art of space. It is also, profoundly, an art of time.Audio: comdarchipodcast / This English version was generated using AI with voice cloning, inspiration of the speakers' timbre (Anne-Charlotte).Teaser image © Dmitry Zhukov___If you like the podcast do not hesitate:. to subscribe so you don't miss the next episodes,. to leave us stars and a comment :-),. to follow us on Instagram @comdarchipodcast to find beautiful images, always chosen with care, so as to enrich your view on the subject.Nice week to all of you !

Basilica of Santa Margherita — the big church perched high above Cortona. From down in the valley, it almost seems to float above the town. This church is dedicated to Margaret of Cortona. Margaret is unlike any other saint you will likely ever hear about. Her story is fascinating and dramatic. If you were choosing the story of a woman to become a saint known for her faith in Jesus, this would not be the chosen one. But, thankfully God doesn't choose as we would choose. He never dismisses us because of our past. Our shame or guilt is never beyond his touch of redemption. His good plans for us still stand even when we have done our best to mess them up. Margaret of Cortona's body rests in a sealed tomb behind glass within the church high on the hill above the Tuscan town of Cortona. Yes, a corpse now 729 years old on display. I've never seen anything like it. But it wasn't her preserved body that has left me in awe – it's her story. Margaret was born in 1247 in rural Tuscany, in a tiny village near Cortona. Her mother died when she was young, and much like a Cinderella story she was then under the rule of a mean stepmother. As a teenager, she ran away with a wealthy nobleman named Arsenio. They lived together for years and had a son, but they were never married — quite scandalous by the standards of the time. They never married and Margaret had decided she would be okay with that since being Arsenio's mistress afforded her a life of luxury and wealth. She was attached to her new lifestyle and she build her identity around a relationship with a man that wasn't honorable. Hmmmm … not so saintly, huh? Then came the event that changed everything. One day Arsenio never returned home. Margaret followed his dog into the woods, which led her to his murdered body. The shock shattered her old life. Yes, her old life of luxury. Her old life of wealth. And her old life of being the mistress that had settled for a life that fell so short of God's standards. After the death of Arsenio, Margaret left everything behind and went back to Cortona in deep grief and repentance. She knew the life she had been living was wrong and she wanted to make it right. At first she was rejected — even by family — but eventually the Franciscans took her in as someone who wanted to repent and do better. She became deeply spiritual, seeking God's way instead of her own. But what made her beloved wasn't just repentance; it was what she did afterward. Margaret devoted herself to the poor, the sick, and the outcast. She founded a hospital in Cortona and became known for fierce compassion and being in the presence miraculous acts of God. Margaret's story reminds us you can have grief, you can carry shame, and God can still use you in powerful ways. In the hands of God, that's a life that can reach other lost souls who feel distant. Her troubled past is still being used today, 729 years after her death to reach others with a troubled past. She was often compared to Mary Magdalene of the Bible. Remember Mary Magdalene – the woman no one else would have chosen, but Jesus chose her as one of his closest followers. Luke 8:2, “Jesus took his 12 disciples with him, along with some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases. Among them was Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out 7 demons.” It's often thought Mary Magdalene is the sinful woman seen anointing the feet of Jesus in Luke 7. A woman believed to have been a prostitue. A woman who simply needed healing from all the enemy had used to destroy her in the past. Mary Magdalene was deeply afflicted and Jesus freed her. And afterwards, she devoted her entire life to him. She was at the cross when Jesus was crucified. She was the first one Jesus appeared to after his resurrection. She was the woman with an imperfect past that was chosen personally by Jesus. AND THE SAME IS TRUE FOR YOU AND I. CHOSEN. REDEEMED. HEALED. SET APART TO NOW DO SOMETHING GOOD WITH OUR LIVES. You may think certain things disqualified you, but God says surrendered things become powerful things. Your past does not cancel your purpose. Your story still belongs in the hands of a redeeming God. God wants to use ALL of your story — not just the polished parts. The healed parts. The overcoming parts. The still-growing parts. Stop believing you have to be perfect to be used by God.

In preparation for the solemnity of Pentecost, we have been trying to see all the things that can happen if we really become docile to his presence in our souls. For the apostles, it was manifested by a powerful wind that shook the house that they were in. Like a powerful tornado, a divine presence that no one could ignore. The result was that their lives were imbued with the fruits of the Holy Spirit. A meditation preached on the eve of Pentecost at Kintore College, Toronto, May 23, 2026.Music: Audiio MULVEY Awakening Instrumental.Thumbnail: Bernini's Holy Spirit in St. Peter's Basilica, Rome.

Father Peter Clem, a Parochial Vicar at the Basilica, shares a homily during the Seventh Sunday of Easter. It was given in the Basilica on May 17, 2026.   

Patrick opens with a caller’s honest struggle about sustaining faith and character in environments that never quite align with Catholic convictions, offering advice that blends scriptural grit with lived wisdom. Conversations about the unchecked spread of AI and massive data centers quickly turn uneasy, sparking debate over their promises and the unseen costs shaping towns and families while ordinary life persists. Josh - Is it a problem that I don't talk about my faith? (00:46) Anne - We have 5 children involved in cybersecurity and AI. Pope Leo wrote about bringing Catholic teaching to industries. I am also concerned about data centers taking up land space. We were offered money for land. (15:01) Maria - Data Centers take a lot of energy and I believe they raise electricity and they take up a lot of water. I think they could cause a drought. (24:42) Joe - Why would Protestants care about the rapture? Why was the father of John the Baptist punished? (31:06) Billy (email) – Is it wrong to take a photo of the Roses at the Basilica while going up for Communion? (39:42) Jan (email) - Our parish has a priest who doesn't elevate the host and the cup, he doesn't distribute Communion, he doesn't genuflect when he walks by the tabernacle, he doesn't greet his parishioners after Mass, and worst of all, he doesn't like to hear Confessions so he very often refuses to do so. Phil - Data Centers are on a closed-circuit system. It doesn't cause water pollution. (48:52)

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Seventh Week of Easter Lectionary: 297 The Saint of the day is Saint John I Saint John I's Story Saint John I inherited the Arian heresy, which denied the divinity of Christ. Italy had been ruled for 30 years by an emperor who espoused the heresy, though he treated the empire's Catholics with toleration. His policy changed at about the time the young John was elected pope. When the eastern emperor began imposing severe measures on the Arians of his area, the western emperor forced John to head a delegation to the East to soften the measures against the heretics. Little is known of the manner or outcome of the negotiations—designed to secure continued toleration of Catholics in the West. On his way home, John was imprisoned at Ravenna because the emperor had begun to suspect that John's friendship with his eastern rival might lead to a conspiracy against his throne. Shortly after his imprisonment, John died, apparently from the treatment he received in prison. Saint John I's body was transported to Rome and he was buried in the Basilica of St. Peter. Reflection We cannot choose the issues for which we have to suffer and perhaps die. John I suffered because of a power-conscious emperor. Jesus suffered because of the suspicions of those who were threatened by his freedom, openness, and powerlessness. “If you find that the world hates you, know it has hated me before you” (John 15:18).Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

“It’s not just a job. It’s really a mission, a purpose to be part of something that really does contribute to the rest of the world. It’s healing for people. It’s love for people. It’s Spirit for people.” – Robin Linde Today’s episode is an exciting two-for-one. Robin Linde, Senior Director of Operations – Infrastructure, joins Drew for a video walkabout of Santa Sabina, Hoffman’s new retreat site. A ’97 Hoffman grad, Robin also sits down with Drew for a conversation about her relationship to the Process and to Hoffman.  Robin and Drew After completing her Process, Robin worked for Hoffman for a short time before returning home to Minnesota to care for her aging grandparents. Her time at the Process helped her see that serving the world doesn’t have to be big and flashy. Robin’s service was to be with her grandparents, and ultimately with her grandmother, for ten years after her grandfather died. Upon her grandmother’s death, she returned to the Bay Area and to Hoffman for a second stint. Her timing impeccable, Robin returned to work for Hoffman for the fourth time in 2024. We were ready to renovate our newly acquired Santa Sabina. Someone with the right experience and a deep familiarity with Hoffman was needed to shepherd the renovation. Robin was perfect for the role. We’re excited to share Santa Sabina with you. Walk through Santa Sabina with us and hear some of its history and key features. Then, listen in to hear more of Robin’s story and why working for Hoffman is more of a mission than a job. We hope to welcome you into Santa Sabina one day soon, either for the Process or the Q2, our three-day graduate retreat. https://youtu.be/3tv1vL5qYKA Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Robin Linde Robin Linde is Senior Director of Operations – Infrastructure at the Hoffman Institute Foundation. She oversees retreat site operations across California, Connecticut, and Alberta, Canada. Robin also manages internal operations for Human Resources and IT. Robin brings a diverse professional background and unique operational experience supporting start-up companies and organizations going through periods of significant transition. She served as the primary liaison between Hoffman and the construction project team for the renovation and transition of Santa Sabina Center, overseeing the work from planning through execution and positioning the site for its next chapter of hosting Hoffman programs. More about Santa Sabina: Architect Arthur Constable Mother Raymond O’Connor, OP Nestled in the hills of San Rafael, California, historic Santa Sabina Retreat Center has roots dating back to 1939. It was named after the Basilica of Santa Sabina on the Aventine Hill in Rome, the historic mother church of the Dominican Order. Santa Sabina was designed by architect Arthur Constable for Mother Raymond O’Connor, OP. The architecture is Tudor-Gothic, influenced by the Dominican Monastery at Stoke-on-Trent in England. It originally included a chapel, library, and courtyard garden. It served as a novitiate house of spiritual formation for women joining the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael until 1970. From 1970–2023, Santa Sabina was open to the public for retreats, fostering a space for meditation, reflection, and spiritual growth, serving thousands of guests of a variety of denominations. In 2024, the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael sold the property to the Hoffman Institute. Renovating it into a modern retreat center, Hoffman maintained its historic character, such as the chapel painting by E. Charlton Fortune. Thoughtfully redesigned for the next generation of seekers, the campus features a light-filled classroom, a welcoming dining hall and kitchen, and 47 private bedrooms designed for rest and renewal. In April of 2026, the first Hoffman Process was held in the newly renovated Santa Sabina Retreat Center. The former chapel, now de-sanctified and free of religious iconography, has been transformed into The Sanctuary. Reimagined as a space for Hoffman's non-religious spiritual work, The Sanctuary is where participants gather for reflection, transformation, and connection, a space that holds the essence of Hoffman's mission to nurture healing and awakening. Set on two secluded acres of landscaped grounds, Santa Sabina provides an environment for the Hoffman Process to continue fostering growth, discovery, and profound personal change well into the future.

Father Edward Hathaway, the Rector at the Basilica, shares a homily during the Sixth Sunday of Easter. It was given in the Basilica on May 10, 2026. 

It's Venice Biennale opening week and so, as ever, this episode is our Venice special. The Biennale comprises many aspects: an international exhibition that this year features more than 100 artists in the Central Pavilion in the Giardini—Venice's easternmost gardens—and the Arsenale, the historic Venetian shipyards, as well as national pavilions and, across the city, countless official collateral exhibitions alongside major museum shows, performances and other interventions. We bring you our immediate impressions of this year's offering: Louisa Buck, Jane Morris and host Ben Luke review the main exhibition, In Minor Keys, curated by the late Koyo Kouoh and realised by five of her collaborators. Ben talks to two artists: Gabrielle Goliath whose work for the South African pavilion was cancelled and is being staged in a church in the heart of Venice, and Lubaina Himid, who is showing in the British pavilion in the Giardini. He also meets the writer and thinker Saidiya Hartman, two of whose essays have inspired a production called Minor Music at the End of the World, staged at Venice's Goldoni Theatre and featuring contributions from, among others, the artists Arthur Jafa, Precious Okoyomon and Okwui Okpokwaseli. And The Art Newspaper's digital editor, Alexander Morrison, talks to Daniella Kaliada, one of the team behind Official. Unofficial. Belarus., a collateral art project by Belarus Free Theatre. Finally, we always end our Venice specials with a historic masterpiece, and in this episode's Work of the Week, we look at two: Jacopo Tintoretto's The Last Supper and The Israelites in the Desert of 1591-92, the pair of paintings made for the presbytery of the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore. The paintings have just returned to the basilica after a major conservation project, funded by the charity Save Venice, and Ben spoke to Save Venice's Senior Researcher, Gabriele Matino, about them.In Minor Keys, 9 May-22 NovemberGabrielle Goliath: Elegy, Chiesa di Sant'Antonin, 5 May-31 JulyPredicting History: Testing Translation, British Pavilion, 9 May-22 NovemberOfficial.

Father James Searby, a Parochial Vicar, shares a homily during the Fifth Sunday of Easter. It was given in the Basilica on May 3, 2026.   

In April 2026, Pope Leo XIV, deep in a public feud with President Trump over the Iran war, made his first trip to Africa. He chose Algeria: the birthplace of Augustine, the spiritual founder of his order. Algeria is demanding reparations from France for 132 years of colonial rule and 1.5 million dead. It's parliament declared French colonization a "state crime" just four months before Leo landed. Before visiting with any Catholics, Leo laid a wreath at an anticolonial martyrs' monument, removed his shoes in one of the world's largest mosques, condemned "neocolonial tendencies" to the diplomatic corps, and honored 19 Catholic martyrs who stayed to serve Algerian Muslims through a civil war that killed 200,000.  The right-wing press logged every stop as an outrage. The Arab press read it as vindication. And the old-school Algerian left noted that papal forgiveness might be easier for France to accept than a reparations bill. Matthew reads the visit through Augustine, historical materialism, liberation theology, and the testament of Christian de Chergé, prior of Tibhirine, who in 1994 wrote about his immanent martyrdom as the insurgents drew near. In his final testament, de Chergé wrote: I well know the contempt with which the Algerians taken as a whole have come to be dismissed. I also know the caricature of Islam that a certain kind of Islamism encourages. It is too easy to put one's conscience at rest by identifying this religion with the forms of fundamentalism of its extremists.

A sad day in the world of music in Minneapolis as.......The Basilica Block Party is no more.The Basilica Block Party took last year off, and the early summer music festival isn't coming back.Last year, officials had said that they were looking forward to a bright future in 2026, but that is not to be.“The final Block Party was held in 2024, concluding an incredible run and leaving a lasting legacy in our community,” a statement on the event's website reads. “We are deeply grateful for the fans, the artists, and the support shown for our beloved Basilica.”Started in 1995, the major fundraiser for the Basilica of St. Mary, the historic downtown Minneapolis church, drew a wide mix of local and national acts in its 30-year history.
