All are invited to participate in a 33 Days to Morning Glory Marian Consecration Retreat hosted by the Akron Clarence Roman Catholic Community (ACRCC) which begins on Monday, April 15, 2024. We will meet on six Monday evenings at 7 PM to learn about and reflect upon four great Saints with a strong devotion to the Blessed Virgin, Mary: St. Pope John Paul II, St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and St. Teresa of Calcutta. They will teach us about drawing closer to the Heart of Jesus through the Heart of Mary.
Reverend Thomas Mahoney, Pastor of the ACRCC Family of Parishes, shares, "My hope is, by consecrating ourselves to Our Blessed Mother, we are able to take Mary's, "Yes," and make it our own. Even though we may not fully understand what is being asked of us, we can trust and say, "Yes," to the Holy Spirit."
Meeting locations are as follows:
April 15th, 22nd and 29th: Our Lady of Peace Parish Center, 10950 Main St., Clarence
May 6th: St. Mary School Cafeteria, 6919 Transit Rd., East Amherst
