Feast of the Immaculate Conception

Saint Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church

Total CONSECRATION to JESUS Through MARY

Within the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we discover extraordinary graces for our time.  But how do we get there?  First, we go to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Her role is to lead us to the Heart of Jesus, and she does this in the best way possible.  According to the saints, Mary is the quickest, easiest, surest way to the fire of love that burns in the Heart of Jesus. 

Why Would I Want to Consecrate Myself to Mary?

Donna Marie Cooper O'Boyle provides a simple and understandable explanation in this short video!


There are many ways to learn more and prepare for the parish-wide Consecration December 8th.  Beginning in July, we'll have Fridays with Our Lady, which are 45-minute sessions following Friday morning Mass.  Each will have a presentation and discussion about one of the many apparitions of Our Lady such as Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Fatima.  

Whole Family Catechesis: Love Your Mother will take place in the fall.  The youth programs and PSR classes will have a special emphasis on Mary this year.  Beginning in October, small groups begin meeting either during PSR, sometime during the week at church, or join a small group that meets in a program sponsor's home.  

Many materials are available to best suit your personal and family needs:  33 Days to Morning Glory (outlined below), Consecration to Mary for LIttle Ones , Marian Consecration for Children, and Totally Yours: 33 Day Marian Consecration for Teens.
