TD PLACE HOSTED HISTORY
Honouring the 1947 Marian Congress & Preparing for PAC27
🌹 A Historic Moment for Canada
In 1947, Ottawa welcomed hundreds of thousands of pilgrims over five days for the Marian Congress, the largest religious gathering in Canadian history at the time.
Here, Canada was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a defining spiritual milestone depicted in the acclaimed film Bridge of Roses.

The Congress united the world in prayer for peace in the aftermath of war.
