To enhance your Consecration, you are highly encouraged to watch 1-hour videos on Consecration talks beginning on July 22. These videos will be emailed to you and you can watch them at any time for 5 Saturdays: July 22, July 29, August 5, August 12, and August 19.

Your Consecration Day is on Tuesday, August 22, the Feast of the Queenship of Mary. Come to mass on this day at the Cathedral of Christ the Light, at 12:10pm or in the evening at any of the churches in the diocese that are providing the special Consecration masses. The list will be emailed to you as the date draws near. We will all say our Act of Consecration together at the mass/es. (If you are unable to attend the special Consecration Day masses, you may attend any mass on that day/night.)
-
Receive Holy Communion on Consecration Day offering yourself up as a slave of love to Jesus through Mary.
-
During this preparation period, try to do some works of mercy, visit the Blessed Sacrament, read the suggested readings, or do some small sacrifices like fasting, etc. to enhance your preparation for Consecration.
-
After Consecration Day, continue to apply the learnings from your Preparation for Consecration by living the gospels in imitation of the Blessed Mother.
