In 2017, Connie Triolo started the 33 Days to Morning Glory in St. Joseph’s as a ministry. Doing this Consecration to Jesus through Mary has been an enriching prayer experience to all who participate, not just at St. Joseph’s but all over the world! But what exactly is it?
Consecrate means to “make holy.” This is a way to grow closer to Jesus through a commitment in prayer. There are many different kind of consecration now, but the most popular is through His Mother, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. After all, what dutiful son would not honor the requests of his mother? Just look at when Mary told Jesus to turn water into wine even though His hour had not yet come (John 2:1-11)
Join us!
We’ll be doing a consecration and prep start April 26th. See information on the different kinds below and click here to view the event.

What about during covid-19?
St. Joseph’s Consecration ministry tries to offer consecration preparation during the Spring and Summer. With the uncertainty of social gatherings at this point, we are encouraging parish members to consider doing a consecration at home this year. The date shown above is only a suggestion. Timing is not nearly as important as the consecration itself. Now would be the perfect time for each of us to grow closer to Our Lord.
