Congregación Mariana
Over the centuries, a number of Marian movements and societies have been consecrated to the Virgin Mary, e.g. the fourth vow taken by the Marianist Fathers, whose order was formed in the 18th century, during the French Revolution includes a consecration to the Virgin Mary. In the 1948 Apostolic Constitution "Bis Saeculari" Pope Pius XII encouraged Marian consecrations by the Marian societies such as Sodality of Our Lady.
