In solidarity with a number of Episcopal Conferences throughout the world, all Bishops have been invited to consecrate their individual dioceses and eparchies to Mary, Mother of the Church on Friday, May 1, 2020, seeking her maternal intercession during the Coronavirus pandemic. His Excellency Bishop Douglas Crosby, OMI, will consecrate the Diocese of Hamilton to Mary, Mother of the Church, during a Mass celebrated at the Cathedral Basilica of Christ the King on Friday morning at 9:30 a.m. Priests are invited to consecrate their respective Parishes and other institutions that they serve. Families and individuals are likewise invited to consecrate themselves and their homes to Mary, Mother of the Church, as they pray for her maternal protection during this pandemic.

Head over to the Diocesan website to obtain a copy of the prayer of consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

I will be consecrating Regina Mundi parish to Mary on Friday, May 1, during Mass at 10:00 am. I encourage all parishioners to consecrate themselves and their families to Mary as well, using the prayers from the Diocesan website.
