Father David Dufresne, a Parochial Vicar at the Basilica of Saint Mary, offers a reflection on the Miracle at Cana during our Communal First Saturday for May. As part of our Communal First Saturdays, one of our priests will reflect on a Mystery of the Rosary on the first Saturday of every month at 8:00 am. This mediation was recorded on May 1, 2021.
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.
