Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church (M)

June 9, 2028

The feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, was established by Pope Francis in 2018 and is celebrated on the Monday after Pentecost. This title highlights Mary’s maternal role in the Church, emphasizing her deep connection to the Christian community. As the mother of Jesus, she is also the spiritual mother of all believers, nurturing and guiding the Church through her intercession. The feast reflects Mary’s unique relationship with the early Christian community, especially at Pentecost, when she was present with the apostles. It celebrates her ongoing role in the life of the Church, interceding for all Christians.

The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) has decreed that this is a Holy Day of Memorial to be observed in Canada.
