Connecticut Basilica Renovated to Honor Bl. McGivney

Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding feast at Cana, in Galilee, according to the Gospel of John. When the wine was running low, Jesus requested that the stone jars be filled with water. He prayed over the jars and then offered them to the headwaiter, who realized that the water had been transformed into wine. Because the wedding feast is "one of the most celebratory events in the Bible," said Father James Sullivan, pastor of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Waterbury, a mural by artist Paul Armesto depicting the celebration will be the centerpiece of the renovation of the basilica's hall, known as McCarthy Auditorium.
