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.”
