The Order of Preachers naturally bonds with the Blessed Virgin Mary. Like other religious orders of the medieval, Dominicans look to Mary as their mother and placed themselves under her tender patronage. Our Lady reciprocates their filial submission with maternal protection and lovingly shields them under her mantle. In honor of the protectoress’ unwavering maternal mercy towards the Order of Preachers, this chapel is dedicated to Mary, Queen of Preachers.
