Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
March 2022

In response to the War in Ukraine, on the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25th, Pope Francis, in union with all of the bishops throughout the world, will entrust and consecrate all of humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart was a specific request of Our Lady to Sister Lucia, one of the Fatima visionaries. This is therefore a very important event for our Apostolate. To take part in the consecration, we will be beginning prayers and adoration at St Kilian's Church, Bendigo on March 25th at 9pm (see schedule below).
