POPE TO CONSECRATE RUSSIA AND UKRAINE TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

FEAST OF THE ANNUNCIATION | CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA AND UKRAINE TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Friday, March 25, during a Celebration of Penance at St. Peter's Basilica. While this is not the first time a pope has consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Pope Francis believes Mother Church desires this call for renewal.

Make plans to come to Mass at Our Lady of the Ozarks in Forsyth on Friday, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. We will pray a rosary before Mass and the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the conclusion Mass.

If you cannot make Mass, please pray a rosary and/or litany at home.

While this Solemnity is not an obligatory holy day, it is a great day to venerate our Blessed Mother and to seek her intercession.
