Ziguinchor : catéchèse sur les dogmes mariaux pour l’Assomption à Saint Thomas d’Aquin

On August 15, 2025, the Catholic Church celebrated the Assumption of Mary, her elevation body and soul into heaven. In Senegal, processions and celebrations marked this day of veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. At the Saint Thomas Aquinas University Parish in Ziguinchor, the faithful, in large numbers, attended a catechesis on Marian dogmas, explaining the significance of this feast.

The celebrant, Father Blaise, a monk of the Blessed Sacrament serving at the Sacré-Cœur Church in Gandiaye (diocese of Kaolack), emphasized Mary's humility: "Mary was so small, so humble, and God chose her and raised her up." He presented the four Marian dogmas, pillars of Catholic Mariology, as truths revealed by God:

  1. Divine Motherhood (Council of Ephesus, 431): Mary is the mother of Jesus, true God and true man.
  2. Perpetual Virginity (Lateran Council, 649): Mary remained a virgin before, during and after the birth of Jesus.
  3. The Immaculate Conception (proclaimed by Pius IX, 1854): Mary was conceived without original sin.
  4. The Assumption (defined by Pius XII, 1950): Mary was taken up body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life.

Father Blaise invited the faithful to dedicate themselves to Mary, a model of service and obedience to the word of God. This catechesis allowed Christians to better understand the place of the Virgin in the Catholic faith and the importance of the Assumption.
