Marian devotion
Our Lady of Mata Utu
DOCUMENTAL STATE: PREVIOUS, CONSERVATED FILE. This page and "The Assumption of Mata- Utu - The Cathedral of Wallis and Futuna" treat the same advocation : the headline of the Cathedral of Mata-Utu. That is today the reference sheet - it carries the verified location, historical documentation and the accredited image - and it is kept in full because it is previous and in order not to lose its trace.
Two warnings about the content below. First: the correct and documented title is Our Lady of the Assumption , titular de la catedral (en francés, Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption of Matâ ). Second: no source has been located that documents an advocation called "the Virgin of the Wallisians" - no decree, no canonical coronation, no patronage, no sanctuary of its own, the following reference comes from this ancient fact sheet, and if it maintains only como constancia, no como given verido . The recognized employer figure of the territory is San Pedro Chanel , martyr of Futuna and patron of Oceania.
