Renewal of Dedication of our Nation to the Care of our Blessed Mother
Join Archbishop Kurtz and the rest of our nation in prayer.
Dear St. Margaret Family Member,
Last week Archbishop Kurtz, along with all the bishops who are members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, invited us as a nation to reconsecrate ourselves and our nation to the care of our Blessed Mother Mary. Below you will find the Archbishop’s invitation to join together at 3:00 PM tomorrow (Friday, May 1). If you are unable to do so at that time, you will find attached the prayers which you may pray at anytime with your family.
We continue to support one another with our prayers and care for one another through the intercession of our Mother Mary.
Fr. Bill
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic gripping our world, Archbishop Kurtz is inviting all of us to join with Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) as Archbishop Gomez leads a liturgy of the renewal of the consecration of the United States to the care of our Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church and Queen of Peace.
This liturgy will take place on Friday, May 1, 3:00 p.m. EDT and will be available on the USCCB website hereor at the Archdiocese of Los Angeles webpage here.The EWTN television network also will air the liturgy.
