Pope St. John Paul II delivered this homily in Fátima, Portugal, on Saturday, May 13, 2000, at the Beatification Mass of Blesseds Francisco and Jacinta Marto. The two shepherd children, along with their cousin Lucia dos Santos, witnessed a series of apparitions by the Blessed Mary beginning May 13, 1917. This Saturday, May 13, in Fátima, will elevate Francisco and Jacinta to sainthood.

THE BASILICA OF THE NATIONAL SHRINE OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

Affectionately referred to as America’s Catholic Church, the Basilica of the Na- tional Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, has been a cen- tury in the making since the laying of its foundation stone in 1920.

Designated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops as a National Sanctuary of Prayer and Pilgrimage, the Basilica is our nation’s preeminent Marian Shrine, dedicated to the Patroness of the United States, the Blessed Vir- gin Mary under her title of the Immaculate Conception. Mary’s Shrine, as it is often called, is the largest Roman Catholic Church in North America and is one of the ten largest churches in the world.

Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI, John Paul II, and Saint Mother Teresa are among the faithful who have visited this magnificent basilica. Now as its one hundredth anniversary approaches, a nationwide effort is underway to complete this great “Hymn in Stone” as its founders envisioned with the mosaic ornamentation of the Trinity Dome.

THE TRINITY DOME The Trinity Dome is the central and largest dome of the Ba- silica. This “Crowning Jewel” will be adorned in mosaic and will depict the Most Holy Trinity, the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Immaculate Conception, and a procession of saints who have an association with America and the Basil- ica. The will encircle the base of the dome, while the dome’s pendentives will feature the four evangel- ists: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Trinity Dome Will complete the work of the Great Upper Church accord- ing to its original iconographic scheme and bring to a close construction of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception as it approaches its centennial milestone in 2020.
