End of the Semester Consecration to Mary
Dear Family of Holy Apostles College and Seminary:
First, thank you, staff and faculty, for your great patience and hard work during these trying times. Also, thank you students (Seminarians, Sisters, Priests, Lay Students) for your perseverance in your studies and especially for the countless times that you have made the special effort to smile, be joyful and lift our spirits up in the Lord Jesus.
You are invited to conclude this Spring Semester in the following spiritual way. In union with Pope Francis and our bishops, this Friday, May 1st representatives from our spiritual family will be praying the rosary at 3 P.M. Eastern Standard Time as the U.S. Bishops consecrate the United States of America to our Blessed Mother, Mary, Mother of the Church.
We will end the Rosary with two prayers composed by our Holy Father, Pope Francis. Pope Francis has invited us to recite these prayers at the conclusion of the Rosary and which, he writes, “I myself will recite in the month of May, spiritually united to you.”
United in the Lord Jesus,
Fr Peter Kucer, M.S.A., President-Rector
HACS student inspires others with her music
Holy Apostles’ student Marie Miller uses her music from her new album Little Dreams, a tribute to the Little Flower’s “Little Way,” to bring comfort and strength to the world during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Marie was recently interviewed by the National Catholic Register (NCR) where she spoke about the release of her album during the current health crisis.
Miller says, “During these difficult times, I really wanted to use my art as a source of comfort and strength for our world community enduring this pandemic. We are creating a ‘quarantine collage’ music video for my song Brave New Step from Little Dreams — people are sending photos from all over the world thanking the health-care workers on the front lines risking their lives.” (NCR, April 26, 2020, Marie Miller’s Music Has a St. Thérèse Connection
