After 11/1 , please still register to join the email list for reminders and consecration details. You can buy your own book at Holy Trinity Catholic Books and Gifts
A parish wide consecration will be offered at the 9 am January 1st Mass. You may also make your consecration individually in connection with the Mass you attend that day. Prayers and materials will be emailed if unavailable to attend the SEAS 9 am Mass.
WHY MAKE A CONSECRATION?
Daily life can leave us distracted, hurried, and unsure how to deepen our relationship with God. Marian consecration gives us an intentional way to pause, pray, and invite God into our everyday lives. With Mary’s help, we seek to love Jesus more deeply, trust Him more fully, and live our baptismal promises more faithfully.
The 33 days of preparation provide a rhythm of daily reading, reflection, and prayer. For families, this can become a shared time to talk about faith and pray together. For individuals, it can be a chance to strengthen a daily prayer habit and bring personal intentions to the Lord. A perfect way to pray during Advent
Consecration is both a prayer we make on a particular day and a commitment we continue to live afterward. We keep asking Mary to help us follow Jesus in our choices, relationships, and service to others.
