2023-03-31

On March 25, 2023, Bishop Giorgio Cardinal Marengo celebrated the Mass of Thanksgiving and Praise at Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. On this day a Polish icon painter Mrs. Mariola personally handed over the icon of the Holy Family to Cardinal Giorgio Marengo created especially for the Catholic Church in Mongolia, who then bless it. Mrs. Mariola is carrying out the project "Icons without borders", giving free icons she painted herself to different countries. The Catholic Church in Mongolian is the third one chosen by her project. It was the late bishop Wenceslao Padilla who have chosen Holy Family as the patron saint of the Catholic Church in Mongolia. 
We would like to express our deep gratitude to Mrs. Mariola who invested in everyone's devotion and gave us a wonderful icon. As you enter through the central door of Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, you will see the icon of the Holy Family.
