Today, the day after Pentecost, the church honors the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church.
Pope Saint Paul VI confirmed her title in an address given to the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council on November 21, 1964 and established that "by this sweetest of names the whole Christian people should henceforth give still greater honor to the Mother of God."
This memorial was added to the liturgical calendar in 2018 by Pope Francis, and is always celebrated on the day after Pentecost.

"O God, Father of mercies,
whose Only Begotten Son, as he hung upon the Cross,
chose the Blessed Virgin Mary, his Mother, to be our Mother also;
grant, we pray,
that with her loving help,
your Church may be more fruitful day by day,
and exulting in the holiness of her children,
may draw to her embrace all the families of the peoples.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen."

Confirmations!
Bishop Tyson is presiding at a Confirmation Mass held at the HAPO Center in Pasco for local teens. Seventy-one teens from Christ the King are among the many young people being confirmed!
We are grateful to Bishop Tyson and the other priests who assisted, and most especially to the Religious Education staff, parents, and sponsors who instructed these teens through their path to full communion in the Church!
Note: because this year is the 75th anniversary of the creation of the Diocese of Yakima, Bishop Tyson asked that youth confirmations be held in regional settings: in Wenatchee, the Tri-Cities, and Yakima. In 2000, there was only one setting for the whole diocese – in Yakima. Look how our numbers are growing!
