The Missionary Sisters of Mary Mother of the Church who took the title after Mother Mary are celebrating in the mission land. Be it South Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Italy or within Uganda.
In 2018, Pope Francis decreed that the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church be inserted into the Roman Calendar on the Monday after Pentecost (also known as Whit Monday) and to be celebrated every year.[22] It was issued on 3 March 2018.The decree was signed on 11 February 2018, the memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, at the 160th anniversary of the Lourdes apparitions.
The title "Mother of the Church" was used by Pope Benedict XIV in 1748[2] and then by Pope Leo XIII in 1885.[3] The title was also used by Pope John Paul II[4] and is also found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.[5]

 Pope John Paul II stated that overall the title indicates the Blessed Virgin Mary's maternity of Christ's faithful, as deriving from her maternity of Christ in that "Mary is present in the Church as the Mother of Christ, and at the same time as that Mother whom Christ, in the mystery of the Redemption, gave to humanity in the person of the Apostle John [cf. John 19:27]. Thus, in her new motherhood in the Spirit, Mary embraces each and every one in the Church, and embraces each and every one through the Church."[6]
Pope Paul VI made the pronouncement of the title Mother of the Church during his speech upon the closing of the third session of the Second Vatican Council on November 21, 1964: "For the glory of the Virgin and our consolation, we proclaim Mary the Most Holy Mother of the Church, that is, the Mother of the whole People of God, both the faithful and the pastors."[10]
Pope Paul VI used similar language to that of Saint Ambrose of Milan, calling Mary Model of the Church in light of her faith, love and complete unity with Christ and Mother of the Church because she gave birth to Christ.[14]
May Mary Mother of the Church protect and intercede for the Church in this period of the troubled sea: COVID-19, floods, draught, locusts and the like... Amen.
