Marian Consecration
CONSECRATION TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY ON THE SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION 2024.
Archbishop Leo has requested that clergy and laity in the Archdiocese of Toronto join him in a Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of Our Lord, which is celebrated on Monday, April 8th, in 2024.
Archbishop Leo said: “This is “a grace-filled opportunity in which our Catholic archdiocesan family can gather in deep communion with one another as members of the Body of Christ in a beautiful act of ecclesial and personal faith.” This consecration allows for a new outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord into our lives and our loved ones.
The Office of Formation for Discipleship at the Archdiocese of Toronto has developed resources to help us cultivate a better understanding of Catholic tradition of Marian consecrations. Some of these resources include: a Marian Triduum (three-day preparation before the Consecration); a Ritual of Consecration; a list of FAQs and answers. These items have been posted on our parish website and may be reproduced for your convenience.
Individuals, couples and families do the three-day preparation ritual at home on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday immediately before the Solemnity. Fr. Damian will lead the “Prayer of Consecration” at the end of the 7pm Mass on Monday, April 8th, at St. Francis of Assisi Church, with everyone in attendance. Those who are unable to attend this Mass may offer the Marian consecration at home or at work, uniting their personal prayer to the communal consecration taking place in our church and other parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto.
