The consecration of Canada to Our Lady will enrich our faith, allow a more abundant outpouring of God’s spiritual and temporal gifts on us, and enable us even more to fulfill our calling and mission. Ultimately, consecration to Mary, which springs from a more fervent, more committed, and more sustained life of prayer and devotion in which the Blessed Mother plays a unique and loving role, points and leads to a renewed spirit and understanding of family, Church, and the need for societal engagement. ​To find more catechesis on Marian Consecration and why we consecrate Canada to Our Lady, please read the document "Consecrating Canada to the Blessed Virgin Mary: Insights for Adult Catechesis."

Join us in prayer: Bishop McGrattan will consecrate the Diocese of Calgary to Mary, Mother of the Church, on Friday, May 1, seeking her maternal protection during the Coronavirus pandemic. To assist dioceses with the consecration, the CCCB will provide a prayer for use during the solemn act of entrustment. It can likewise be incorporated into family or individual prayer at home and used by other groups and faith communities.

God bless you abundantly.
May the name of God be always praised, loved and glorified by all the creatures of God, in heaven and earth and under the earth...by our Lord , in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar..and by our most humble and beautiful mother, Mary!
May this consagracion to her, our tender advocate, be the force that widens the streams of Mercy, we so undeservedly and unsesantly pray for.
May our faith grow bolder as we encounter the enemy face to face.
God be with you,
Gloria

I’m wondering if all Catholic Parishes across Canada will be participating, so that all Canadians can be placed under the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Mantle of protection.
