About Our Lady Queen of Apostles

The original Church was built on the site of the former White Fathers Seminary on land left to the local Catholic community on the proviso that the White Fathers Cemetery would be maintained in perpetuity. A new Church was built in 1997 and the original building was converted into a Pastoral Centre. Old Seminarians come each year to visit the Church on the Feast of Pentecost.

In their booklet, Devotion to Mary, Queen of Apostles, the Daughters of St. Paul express, beautifully, the meaning of this title : " Mary is Queen of Apostles because she was chosen to be the Mother of Jesus Christ and to give Him to the world; she was made the Apostles' Mother and our own by Our Savior on the cross; she was with the Apostles while awaiting the descent of the Holy Spirit, obtaining for them the abundance of supernatural graces they received on Pentecost."
