Veneration of a First Class Relic of St. Faustina
Tuesday, April 19th, 12:00 Noon Mass
Msgr. Jeremiah Kenney will be bringing a relic from his own collection, an actual bone fragment of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska in a reliquary, for veneration at Noon Mass on the Tuesday between Easter Sunday and Divine Mercy Sunday. St. Faustina is the Apostle of Divine Mercy, and Msgr. Kenney himself worked on the cause for her canonization. What better way to prepare for and anticipate Divine Mercy Sunday than to venerate and ask for the intercession of this humble nun through whom Christ revealed his infinite mercy?

An Answer to Prayer!
The Consecration of Russia & Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Thank you to the 50+ Adorers who attended our 24 Hour Adoration vigil in anticipation of and thanksgiving for the Consecration. We were thrilled with the turnout and the enthusiasm of all who took part in covering all those hours with so little notice, especially the ones who covered the overnight hours (and the staff and board members who kept watch).
Around 180 people attended our two Masses on the Feast of the Annunciation and prayed the Act of Consecration, united with the Holy Father, the Bishops, and all the faithful throughout the world pleading for the promised triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, that war and suffering may end and we may enjoy a time of lasting peace. May this consecration draw down a deluge of graces upon this sinful and suffering world. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
