QUEENSHIP OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

On 11th October 1954, Pope Pius XII established the Feast of the Queenship of Mary to be celebrated throughout the world, and commanded that on that day each year, the world should renew its consecration to her. In the future the Feast came to be celebrated on 22nd August. 

"The purpose of the Feast is that all may recognize more clearly and venerate more devoutly the merciful and motherly sovereignty of her who bore God in her womb" (Ven. Pius XII, Ad. Coeli Reginam). 

On the day of her Assumption, Mary our Mother was solemnly crowned by Christ and received by the whole court of Heaven as Queen. 

What Christ has done in Heaven and the Church has done on our behalf we should now do individually, that is, we should recognize Mary's Queenship, enthrone her in our homes, consecrate ourselves to her and, by this means, establish in our lives the reign of Mary Immaculate Queen of the Universe.

 Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with you.

Blessed are you among women

and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Social Justice News

Just another reminder to bring in some towels and blankets for the Lost Dogs Home. By now we hope you have participated, but if not, don’t worry there is still plenty of time. Baskets are in every classroom for your generous donations until Friday 24th August.

By donating to this cause you will be supporting the Catholic Social Teaching of Stewardship of Creation by looking after the needs of animals and also by looking after the environment by reusing old towels instead of sending them to landfill.

A big thank you to Miss Wilkinson for helping us achieve this important goal and another big thanks to everyone for all your effort to bring in these towels. We have seen an outstanding amount of donations and we would like to have more, so keep up the good work!
