Consecration to Jesus Through Mary

Beginning on Saturday, September 4th, men, women, and children from around the Archdiocese of Hartford will be uniting in prayer, joining together virtually to take part in a 33-Day Consecration to Jesus through Mary. Groups from our Catholic schools, faith formation programs, and parishes are planning to take part in this Consecration, which will be steered by the book Child Consecration: To Jesus through Mary – Following in the Spirit of St. Thérèse, the Little Flower and led by the clergy and shepherds of our Archdiocese, including Archbishop Blair, Bishop Betancourt, and priests and deacons from numerous parishes.
Though the title of the book labels this as a “Child Consecration”, in actuality anyone can take part no matter how old, and these 33 days could be a wonderful time for parents to spend time with their children or for a family of multiple generations to join together every evening in prayer.
Each day from September 4 to October 7 individuals may participate in the Consecration in three possible ways:

1. Pray the Consecration with the book Child Consecration: To Jesus through Mary – Following in the Spirit of St. Thérèse, the Little Flower.
2. Visit childconsecration.com, where the entire Consecration Journey with day-by-day readings and prayers can be found by clicking the “Online Consecration Journey” link.
3. Watch one of the Shepherds of the Archdiocese lead the day’s prayers and readings on the Fiat Ministry Network YouTube Channel by clicking HERE. Each day a different bishop, priest, or deacon from the Archdiocese of Hartford will lead that day’s portion of the Consecration beginning at 8:00 PM. Then, after the premiere of each day’s video, that clip will remain available to view for anyone who missed it.

We invite all those who are interested to take part in these days of prayer, and if you’d like to learn more about the Consecration, you can go to childconsecration.com.
