Want to transform your work, your marriage, your family, and your life, but don't have time?
Looking for the quickest, surest, and easiest way to holiness, but don't know where to begin?
In our hectic day and time, Blessed John Paul II and Blessed Mother Teresa knew that the quickest way to be transformed into a saint is through a relationship with Our Blessed Mother, Mary. Mary leads us to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Starting with the book
33 Days to Morning Glory: A Do-It-Yourself Retreat in Preparation for Marian Consecration, parishes all over the United States are beginning this journey together.
What does this journey look like?
The 33-day preparation for Marian Consecration begins as a process that is designed to culminate on a Marian feast day. For six weeks, retreatants individually read about and reflect on four great Marian giants: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Mother Teresa, and Blessed John Paul II, who teach us the secrets to drawing closer to the Heart of Jesus through the Heart of Mary. The group of participants meets weekly to share insights and watch a 30-minute video by Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, that helps bring individual reflections and group experience into a clear and live-able focus. (You can also get more details by going to

We're looking for about 10-12 people who are interested in participating in a weekly preparation retreat this summer, culminating in a consecration ceremony on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption. The five weekly sessions are on Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM, beginning July 10, with a sixth follow-up session to be scheduled.
