The floating Congregation

- julho 06, 2023

In October 9th 1938, a Marian Congregation was founded in Majorca, composed of sailors from the nationalist warship "Velasco Melilla". One beautiful and moving solemnity gathered the founders of the "floating" Congregation around the altar of the Immaculate Conception, where R. P. Hostalet, S. J., Chaplain of the Belonave, received the new Congregates, imposing on them the insignia and accepting the act of consecration with which brave sailors dedicated themselves to Our Lady. There followed a festive session of cordiality and enthusiasm held in honor of the new Maria n Congregation by the members of Catholic Action on the island of Mallorca. (In "Revista Estrela do Mar", April 1939, pp. 84-85) NOTE: the "Estrela do Mar" magazine is a traditional Brazilian Marian sodality publication.

We present here the scarfes used by some sodalities around the world. (Quintas Quessongo, Angola) Greetings, Congregated Brothers. Today I share with you photographs of Our Marian Congregations in Angola. These belong to the south of Angola, specifically in the Diocese of Namibe, a province in the south of Angola. As you can see in the images, the young people gathered here use the scarf as a symbol of their commitment to Mother Beloved, Virgin Mary. These Symbols differentiate between blue for young congregants and green for beginners, that is, aspirants. Ribbons with the medal are only given to the elderly, especially those who are already married. There are young Congregates who also receive a ribbon, but it is rare, only in cases where the young man is married and has a certain reputation and maturity.
