Consecration & Entrustment of Russia and of Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on March 25

Pope Francis has invited the bishops and faithful of the world to join him in the consecration of Russia and of Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary this Friday, March 25, the Solemnity of the Annunciation. To consecrate a nation or nations is to entrust their peoples and this situation of war to the particular intercession of our Blessed Mother for peace.

Archbishop Jackels will be leading a livestreamed prayer to participate in the consecration on Friday, March 25 at 11:00 AM local time. To learn more, visit www.dbqarch.org/live-broadcasts. If you are unable to join in prayer at that time, a recording will remain available on the Archdiocese of Dubuque website, Facebook page, and YouTube channel.
 

We are encouraged, even if we don't take part in the Consecration prayer service, to dedicate your personal prayer, your own times of fasting, and/or almsgiving to participating with Blessed Mary in her intercession for hearts to turn to peace in the weeks to come.
