Gaitley's "33 Days to Morning Glory" or the Apostolate for Family Consecration's "Preparation for Total Consecration To Jesus Through Mary." May we turn to Mary and St. Joseph to further lead us to their Son Jesus for graces and healing.

This preparation actually commences on November 5th and continues with the actual consecration on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8th). This would be worthy to participate for both those who wish to renew this annual consecration or completing this preparation/consecration for the first time.

Please also consider sharing this event to others who may wish to participate in this Consecration Preparation.

If we are truly intentional about reclaiming our missional identity in our parishes and schools, we must first reclaim the spirituality of stewardship and generosity as a disciple’s response. One of the greatest challenges to achieving this goal lies in changing parishioners’ perception of stewardship as money. Join Shannan Brommer, Tom Crowley and Deacon Al Aulner as we dive into Five Imperatives to successfully invite prayer, participation and generosity as called forth in the U.S. Bishops’ Pastoral Letter, Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response.

Shannan and Tom, along with Deacon Albert Aulner, will accompany pastors and parish and school leaders seeking to maximize stewardship and development initiatives in parishes to further the mission of Jesus.
