Sponsorship and coronation

Parish officially recognized by the Church under the title of Saint Mary Virgin. No coronation or special patronage.

Party and devotion

As a parish under the title of St. Mary, the patron party is usually held in one of the great festivals of the Virgin, most often the Assumption or the Immaculate Conception. The online calendars do not specify which date is assumed as a employer; there is no specific date.

Link to the Rosary

The Rosary is a prayer that travels the life of Saint Mary Our Lady, from the Annunciation to its glorification. A parish dedicated simply to St. Mary is an enabling place to meditate on all the mysteries of his life with Christ.
