Parish-Wide Consecration 2022
Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary. Renew your consecration, or participate for the first time.
Schedule:
Tuesdays, 7:00 PM at St. Pat's May 3rd - 31st
Wednesdays, 7:00 PM at SMOW May 4th - June 1st
Feel free to alternate locations. Attendance at every session is not required.
Materials:
Free copies of "33 Days to Morning Glory" are available. Use "33 Days to Morning Glory" again, or try a different option. -
"Total Consecration Through the Mysteries of the Rosary"
A wonderful book! To do it optimally, you'd need a half hour or so that you wanted to dedicate to praying through the meditations well. Also, it takes a few days longer, so you'd want to start 5 full weeks before consecration day. -
"St. Louis de Montfort's Version--The Original!"
Nothing wrong with this version, either--it's the first! St. Louis de Montfort's version is heavy on recited prayer, so it would be a different approach than "33 Days". But it is tried and true, and loved by many. -
Contact the office 937-592-1656 to sign up, or with any questions.
View Parish-Wide Consecration 2022 Flyer - ROSARY AT THE LAKE: On Monday evenings at 6:00 p.m. from May 2 through October 10, the Rosary will be recited at the Fatima Statue at Indian Lake. Bring your lawn chair and rosary! Also, come prepared for the weather - umbrellas, jackets or sunglasses. The Statue is a beautiful setting for reciting the Rosary. Join us in prayer each Monday as Our Lady requested.

SYNOD ON SYNODALITY
Sounds strange, doesn't it? Yet this is what the Holy Father has called. In its simplest form, synodality represents a collaborative approach by all the people of God to address a particular issue for which the Holy Father seeks input. For this synod, he wants to hear from everyone on how the whole Church (not only the bishops and priests) can journey together in bringing the gospel message to the world. To address this "synodal" approach, he has called for all dioceses in the world to hold local consultative meetings to discuss this topic.
