'We Did It!'

Twenty-seven people from Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Clarksville, Tenn., consecrated themselves to Jesus Christ through the Blessed Virgin Mary at 6 pm on Tuesday, July 16th 2013, the Feast of "Our Lady of Mount Carmel! This Consecration Mass was the culmination of our 33 Days to Morning Glory retreat at our parish."

Our group gathered at the statue of Mary in our Church's garden and processed into our chapel, each person carrying a single rose which we placed in front of the statue of Mary in the Sanctuary. After Holy Communion, we all stood and prayed our Consecration prayer and had our Miraculous Medals blessed. The Sending Forth hymn was a beautiful rendition of Hail Mary/Gentle Woman. We then went over to our Parish Center and celebrated! Check out our Cake by local baker George the Cake Guy! We are holding another 33 Days to Morning Glory retreat in November with a Consecration Mass on December 9th which is when the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, our Church's namesake, is celebrated.

We would love to let others who visit allheartsafire.com see how "on-fire" Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Clarksville, Tenn., is for Jesus and Our Lady! Thanks for all of your support and your great retreat programs! (submitted by Rick Hollin, HAPP Leader)
