Renewing the Consecration of the United States to the Care of Our Blessed Mother
U.S. and Canadian Catholic Bishops to Seek Intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church, for Strength in Struggle Against COVID-19
April 23, 2020
WASHINGTON – As the world continues to face the ongoing effects of the global pandemic of the coronavirus, Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has announced that the U.S. bishops will join the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on May 1 in renewing the consecrations of the two nations to the care of our Blessed Mother.
Through a collective dedication or entrustment of a nation to Mary, an act of consecration is meant to be a reminder to the faithful of the Blessed Mother’s witness to the Gospel and to ask for her effective intercession before her Son on behalf of those in need. ...
Archbishop Gomez will lead a brief liturgy with the prayer of re-consecration at 2:00 PM CDT on Friday, May 1. The faithful are invited to join the re-consecration at the USCCB’s social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
