Queen of Heaven, Rejoice Alleluia

In 1954, four years after the dogma of the Assumption was declared, Pope Pius XII established the Feast of the Queenship of Mary. On August 22, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates a memorial in honor of the Queenship of Mary. This memorial is placed an octave, that is, eight days after celebrating Mary's Assumption into Heaven. The Queenship can be considered a prolongation of the celebration of the Assumption. Our Blessed Mother leads her children to the Sacred Heart of her Son, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help is the patron of St. John Neumann’s order, the Redemptorists. With great confidence in her intercession, we entrust all of our families to the powerful prayers and protection of the Queen of Heaven, “Regina Coeli”
