What is a Cathedral-Basilica?
|
|
The mother church of the Archdiocese of Agaña is blessed to hold two special titles as only a handful exist in the world. First, the cathedral is the church that houses the cathedra of the bishop, the chair which represents his teaching authority over his flock on Guam. The building additionally is a sign of the unity of the faithful he guides. This unity is publicly expressed with the various island wide celebrations like the Mass of Chrism and the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception Masses and Procession. The second title bestowed on the Mother Church of Guam is Basilica. A Basilica, simply put, is the chapel of the Holy Father. The people of the entire Archdiocese are blessed to have a chapel of the Pope located on Guam. |
