Gratitude and a Call to Deeper Discipleship: Fr. Daniel Griffith closes a four-year pastorate at The Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis, MN, a time characterized by pastoral leadership, community engagement, and stewardship of a landmark church. He will become the Vice President of Mission at University of Saint Thomas. 

Johan van Parys, Ph.D, shares the second installment in our series about The Basilica's stained glass windows, discussing the clerestory windows which tell the story of Mary's life in color and light. He discusses Window 1. The Betrothal to Saint Joseph and Window 2. The Annunciation, plus their connection to the ambulatory windows below. If you are interested in Catholic sacred art, Marian devotion, the Magnificat, the Litany of Loreto, or simply in stained glass windows, this is a rich place to start. Which detail in the window was most interesting to see up close?
