Celebration

Our Lady,
Mother  of
Holy Hope
9th July

Our Lady, Mother of Holy Hope

Devotion, to the most Holy Virgin under the title of Mother of Holy Hope has, been practiced in the Congregation of the Passion from the very beginning. It was promoted in a special way by the great missionary, Father Thomas Struzzieri who later became a bishop. He carried a picture of our Mother of Holy Hope with him on missions.

This picture was reproduced and placed in the room's of our religious so that they might be reminded to ask Our Lady's assistance in their spiritual needs. The Blessed Virgin thus became the special model and support of our hope, and she remains so. The liturgical celebration of this feast is on the 9th July.
