April 26: Our Lady of Good Counsel
Patronal Feast Day of the General House Community!
The dedication of the Oblate General House in Rome to Our Lady of Good Counsel took place in 1954, during the Marian Year called by Pope Pius XII (1939-1958), who during that year made the proclamation of the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We can refer to the General House’s Codex historicus, May 28, 1954:
“At 8pm, blessing by Father General of the mosaic of Our Lady of Good Counsel placed over the small entrance door on via Aurelia, in the presence of the whole community and many visitors present in Rome on the occasion of the canonisation of Saint Pius X. It is considered as part of the Marian celebrations taking place in Rome during this Jubilee year for the centenary.” (Studia 11 l 180 l “Nihil linquendum inausum”)
Our Lady of Good Counsel, Pray for us!
