Join Father Scott Steinkerchner for "Know Before You Go" as we explore the readings for the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Pope's cathedral and the Mother Church of Christendom. The biblical readings (Ezekiel, John, Paul) reveal that while physical buildings are important gathering places, we are the true temple of God. Understand the unity and purpose behind our sacred spaces and the Body of Christ. #Catholic #StJohnLateran #KnowBeforeYouGo
