The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church

About this day

Pope Saint Paul VI declared the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of the Church at the Second Vatican Council in 1964. In 2018 Pope Francis placed this memorial on the Monday after Pentecost, recalling Mary at prayer with the apostles as they awaited the Holy Spirit.
