Episode 673: Faith Matters for the Basilica School of Saint Mary’s October 2nd Messenger Newsletter

Faith Matters is a weekly podcast for the Messenger newsletter of the Basilica School of Saint Mary, which gets distributed to Basilica School families. It features Father Edward Hathaway, the rector of the Basilica. In this week's episode, Fr. Hathaway focuses on the month of October being Respect Life Month.
