Today is National I Care About You Day—a beautiful reminder to reach out with compassion and kindness. As a community rooted in faith, hope, and love, let’s take a moment to let someone know they matter. Whether it’s a call, a prayer, or a simple message, your care can make a profound difference. Who will you reach out to today? Tag someone you appreciate or share how you show you care. 💙

⛪ A special morning of faith and fellowship at America’s First Cathedral. This morning, we gathered at the historic Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary for the celebration of the Nuncio Mass. In this sacred place, where generations have gathered in prayer, we give thanks for the gift of our Catholic faith and for the unity of the universal Church. May this celebration strengthen us in our mission to proclaim the Gospel and serve Christ with renewed faith, hope, and love. 💙
