Life
This obligatory memorial, celebrated on the Monday after Pentecost, honors the Blessed Virgin Mary as Mother of the Church—a title Pope Paul VI bestowed at the close of the Second Vatican Council. Rooted in Mary's presence at the Cross and with the apostles at Pentecost, it was added to the General Roman Calendar by Pope Francis in 2018.

Bosko shows you the saint the Church honors today, every day — their story, today's feast, and where they fall in your tradition's liturgical calendar, so a feast that matters to you never quietly slips past.
