Solemnity of the Annunciation & Consecration

On Friday, March 25, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, Pope Francis carried out a solemn Act of Consecration of humanity, and Russia and Ukraine in particular, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. At the Holy Father’s request, Bishop Cary invited all priests, religious and faithful to assemble in churches and places of prayer on March 25 to raise a heartfelt plea to our Blessed Mother. Above is the recording of the celebration of this Mass in Bend, Oregon. Click Here for the English and Español (Spanish) prayer of consecration that the Pope and bishops around the world will recite.
