Venerable Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1954. But Mary’s queenship has roots in Scripture. At the Annunciation, Gabriel announced that Mary’s Son would receive the throne of David and rule forever (Luke 1:26-38). At the Visitation, Elizabeth calls Mary “mother of my Lord” (Luke 1:39-56). As in all the mysteries of Mary’s life, she is closely associated with Jesus: Her queenship is a share in Jesus’ kingship.
Your financial support makes it possible for us to continue our work of pastorally caring for the family.
The Missionaries of the Holy Family support vocations from a variety of backgrounds, and this follows our Founder’s vision. Discerning the call to religious life can be challenging, but we will work through the process with you. God wants all of us to be happy, and we are happiest when we are doing His will and following His plan for us. If that plan includes being a religious, you don’t want to miss that call to happiness!
