Reconsecration of the United States and Canada to Mary, Mother of the Church.
Trentondiocese on May 1 2020 Bishop O’Connell will join bishops from across the United States and Canada in reconsecrating the two nations to the care of the Blessed Mother under the title "Mary, Mother of the Church." Bishop O’Connell will lead a prayer service at 3 p.m. on May 1 from Mary, Mother of the Church, Bordentown.
Each year, the Church seeks the special intercession of the Mother of God during the month of May. This year, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops decided to reconsecrate their nations to Mary, Mother of the Church, especially in the midst of the current pandemic.
The title “Mary, Mother of the Church” was given to the Blessed Mother by Pope St. Paul VI at the Second Vatican Council, and a memorial under the title was added to the Church’s liturgical calendar by Pope Francis in 2018 to be celebrated annually on the Monday after Pentecost Sunday.
