April 28, 2021This week will begin the opportunity for parish-wide preparation for the Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary, according to the method of St. Louis Marie de Montfort. The 33-day preparation is for all in the parish who are interested either in first making the consecration, or in renewing theirs. Father invites all to undertake or renew this devotion by beginning the preparation on Tuesday, April 27, one day before St. Louis de Montfort’s feast. We will then make the consecration as a parish, for all who desire, on Sunday, May 30 after each Mass, one day before the feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This devotion and consecration are of great importance, especially in this, our day. Those already having books containing the preparation and form of consecration will find these perfectly suitable. Additionally, a document with all that is needed was emailed yesterday. For those desiring a printed copy of the booklet, but lacking their own means to print it, booklets containing the first week’s prayers are available in the vestibule. From the number of these taken, there will be printed for next Sunday a like number of complete booklets. So please only take a booklet from the vestibule if for the parish to print one for you is the best option. Thank you for considering prayerfully the invitation to make this consecration; may the good God bless you and Our Lady keep you!
