The title "Mother of the Church" (Mater Ecclesiae) honors the Virgin Mary

as the spiritual mother of all Christian believers.

Officially declared by Pope Paul VI in 1964, it is celebrated as a liturgical

memorial on the Monday following Pentecost Sunday.

Mary’s presence in the upper room with the Apostles

during Pentecost highlights her foundational maternal role

in the birth, protection, and mission of the early Church.
