Queenship of Mary

In Christian tradition, the Trinity was often depicted as placing a crown on Mary's head. This is why the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of the Queenship, or Coronation, of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Aug. 22. Father Chris Alar, MIC, reveals the biblical foundations for the feast for the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Then hear from Fr. Roger Landry and his group on their remarkable walking pilgrimage to the recent National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The week between August 15th and August 22nd is a critically important time in the Church. This one week, more than any other, is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. However, why is this the case and is it scriptural? Hear Fr. Anthony Gramlich explain this important part of our Faith.
