Catholic Church celebrates Aug. 22 as the Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary and was placed in the Church's calendar on 1954.
The title "Our Lady, Queen of Peace" was first coined on early 16th century when Jean de Joyeuse presented a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Françoise e Voisins, his wife, on their wedding day. The statue was distinct as Mary was depicted holding an olive branch in Her right hand and Jesus, the Prince of Peace seated in Her left arm.
It is not the royal blood, but Mary's motherly relationship makes her a Queen, the Queen of both heaven and earth and of peace.
As we celebrate the feast of the Queenship of Mary and of our parish, here is the schedule of Holy Mass and events to held at Mary Queen of Peace Parish on August 22, 2021.
