Marian Consecration Resource Book
The MC70 Celebrations can fittingly incorporate a nine-day retreat using the “Marian Consecration for Little Souls Apparition based Retreat” book. The retreat is simple, engaging and introduces families to "Apparition Evangelization."
Individuals and families may make the retreat at home or groups can meet at the parish.
Consider beginning the retreat on June 14th to culminate with the recitation of the Marian Consecration for Little Souls prayer on June 22nd, the 70th Anniversary of Canada's consecration.
