St. Clare is Growing Closer to Mary!
Join us for a consecration to Mary this Lenten Season! You may be asking what is a Marian Consecration. Marian consecration is the act of entrusting one’s body, soul, possessions, works, and entire life to the protection, guidance, and intercession of Our Lady. Sound scary? Don't worry, it isn't... especially when we journey together as a group!
The consecration starts on Feb 20 and our consecration day is March 25: The Annunciation.

More information & other consecration dates
From Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC, author of the popular book Consoling the Heart of Jesus, comes an extraordinary 33-day journey to Marian consecration with four giants of Marian spirituality: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Pope St. John Paul II. Father Gaitley masterfully summarizes their teaching, making it easy to grasp, and simple enough to put into practice. More specifically, he weaves their thought into a user-friendly, do-it-yourself retreat that will bless even the busiest of people.
