ADORERS: You have made an appointment with Jesus.
We appreciate all of you who have committed to one hour
on Wednesdays to visit Jesus in His Most Blessed
Sacrament. We have other adorers who stop in for a shorter
visit. This gift of having Jesus on the altar all day is a true
blessing for our parish. Those who are not able to come can
benefit by joining themselves spiritually in union with our
adorers. We thank Father White for allowing this privilege
and for the adorers who assure that this blessing will
continue here at St. Mary’s. P.S. There are still some
openings for more adorers. Jesus does not disappoint!
Consecration to Jesus through Mary for Families
Here is an opportunity for you to join others in prayer ~~
without leaving your home!
One person may do this or families can do this together.
There are no meetings or outside requirements.
A number of people in our parish have made the Total
Consecration to Jesus through Mary for Families. The
founders of this Apostolate, Jerry and Gwen Coniker of
Catholic Familyland in Bloomington, OH, were inspired in
this devotion by St. Pope John Paul II and St Louis de
Montfort. They offer an excellent way to grow closer to
Jesus through the heart of Mary. In following this plan, lives
are enriched and graces flow.
This family consecration can begin with one person of the
family or the whole family; the opportunity to begin is yours.
There are no meetings. There are no other requirements
other than preparation (at home) and praying, united to all
(in the world) who have made this consecration. We
encourage you to begin one day at a time, appreciating the
special graces of each day as you ponder the readings.
Those who wish to renew their consecration may begin their
preparation on April 10. ‘First-timers’ can begin your
preparation as soon as you would like. The books
explaining this movement can be purchased by contacting
Ann Kolb. These books contain a great amount of
information, inspiration, and prayers along with the
preparatory meditations by St. Louis de Montfort and St.
Pope John Paul II.
Our consecration day (renewal) will take place following the
Mass on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13. For
further information, you can talk with those who have made
the consecration: Madonna Winner, Nancy Winner, Jean
Moores, Joan York or Ann Kolb.
We hope you will join us on our journey ever deeper into
loving devotion of Jesus and His Mother. Ann Kolb can be
reached at the rectory 548-1616.
