Consecration to Jesus through Mary
-
-
Despite our busy day and time, Saints John Paul II and Mother Teresa knew that the quickest way to become a saint is through a relationship with Our Blessed Mother, Mary. Mary leads us to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
If you are looking for a simple way to be spiritually renewed, develop a deeper relationship with Our Merciful Savior through His Blessed Mother, and grow in holiness, join us for a 33-day do-it-yourself retreat in preparation for Consecration to Jesus through Mary.
We will use the book 33 Days to Morning Group Retreat and Study Guide, by Father Michael Gaitley, to guide us through the retreat, which begins April 24 and continues for six weeks. Participants commit 10-15 minutes daily to spiritual readings and prayerful ponderings at home. Father Michael’s book, based on the writings of St. Louis de Montfort and updated to include the modern perspective of Saints John Paul II, Mother Teresa, and Maximillian Kolbe, offers readers a new dawn and a fresh start for one’s spiritual journey.
Our retreat will culminate on May 31, 2025, the Feast of the Visitation. For those able to attend this consecration day ceremony, we will make our consecration at St. Mary’s after 9:00 AM Mass. Participants may also be consecrated privately at home or at any Church. (We also invite those who have already completed the Consecration to Jesus through Mary retreat to join us for any or all of our programs and to participate in our May 31 consecration ceremony.)
MEETING DATES: Thursdays, April 24, May 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29
LOCATION: Marian Room in the Parish Ministry Center
TIME: 10:00 AM
COST: $20 includes the book and materials
CONSECRATION DAY: May 31, 2025
OPTIONAL: Optional: We will offer informal meetings throughout the preparation period for those who would like to meet with others periodically. These meetings will occur Thursday mornings from 10:00-11:30 AM in the Marian Room. These meetings will give participants an opportunity to ask questions, share insights, and watch informative videos by Fr. Michael Gaitely. The group sessions will provide encouragement and support during the journey. These are not required. In addition to these meetings, Father Anthony from St. Mary’s will be available to answer any questions participants might have while they embark on this journey.
