33 Days to Morning Glory

In a letter to the Priests, Deacons, Religious Educators, Pastoral Leaders and Faithful of the Diocese of Peoria, Bishop Daniel R. Jenky specifically suggests that parishes, schools, and families consider a 30-day Marian Consecration as outlined in a book by Father Michael Gaitly, MIC.

What a blessing to hear from all who consecrated to Jesus through Mary on the Feast of the Annunciation!

In remarks to the Pope and the College of Cardinals, Cardinal-elect Dolan emphasized that "the missionary and the evangelist must be a person of joy," and he went on to say, "The New Evangelization is accomplished with a smile, not a frown."

How did you celebrate your consecration? Tell us, and we'll put your name in a drawing for some really "cool" stuff (sounds tempting, I know!)

They were told they would be on camera, and - yep - that couldn't be avoided.
