Today, June 19, the Ninth begins the Immaculate Heart of Mary, whose party is celebrated one day after the Festival of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This year 2025, the Catholic Church celebrates this Marian party on June 28.
Pope Pius XII established this party in 1944 so that, by intercession of the Mother of God, “peace between nations, freedom for the Church, the conversion of sinners, love of purity and practice of virtues is obtained.” San Juan Pablo II declared this mandatory and not optional party.

I am husband since 2008. With my wife we have three children here and one who went to heaven in 2023, before birth. Since I joined ACI Press in 2005, I have had the opportunity to cover various events of the Catholic Church. Among them, the World Youth Days in Colonia, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro and the apostolic trips of Pope Benedict XVI to Mexico and Pope Francis to South Korea. I have been sent to the Vatican to cover the family’s synods, in 2015; of the Amazon, in 2019 and that of Sinodality, in 2023. I follow the situation of the Catholic Church in Nicaragua, which suffers the persecution of the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega, as well as the ecclesial news in the region.
