Consecration to the Holy Family
2019-11-23 17:00 - 18:30 | Church of the Infant Saviour, 22 Holland Ave., Pine Bush, NY, 12566, United States
As we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas, our thoughts often turn to family gatherings. This year, our Knights of Columbus Council was approached about an event sponsored and made possible through the greater organization of the Knights of Columbus which brings into focus the Holy Family: Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
This year, our Knight’s Council is bringing to Infant Saviour an Icon of the Holy Family in preparation for a Consecration to the Holy Family. The consecration is meant to help strengthen families and revitalize our parish. Our Knights of Columbus council is inviting every family within our parish to consecrate themselves to the Holy Family and to devote themselves to the ideal model of familial love set by Jesus, Mary and Joseph. In the coming weeks, a simple prayer card will be distributed which will have on it a prayer to the Holy Family.
If you would like to participate:
It’s suggested that you pray this prayer with your family each day as we lead up to the consecration itself.
It’s encouraged that each family intentionally fast from something ahead of the consecration in order to better focus our minds on God and His will for our lives and the lives of our family members. The fast should last at least a week leading up to the consecration.
It’s strongly encouraged that each member of a participating family avail themselves of the Sacrament of Reconciliation before the consecration.
During the Holy Hour on Saturday; November 23, 2019 between 3:45-4:45 pm we’ll be praying for the success of this event in our parish. Anyone may attend the Holy Hour. Your attendance would be a wonderful devotion and your prayers for your family and others would assist in the success of the consecration. Reconciliation will be offered during Holy Hour as well.
The Consecration to the Holy Family will take place on Sunday, November 23rd at the 5:00PM Mass.
WHERE: Church of the Infant Saviour (directions here)
WHEN: Saturday; November 23, 2019 at 5:00 pm Mass

Holy Hour - Consecration to the Holy Family
2019-11-23 15:45 - 16:45 | Church of the Infant Saviour, 22 Holland Ave., Pine Bush, NY, 12566, United States
In preparation to the Consecration to the Holy Family Mass at 5 pm on Saturday, November 23, 2019 we will be holding a Holy Hour beginning at 3:45 pm. Holy Hour is a chance to adore the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist and pray to the Lord while in His actual presence in the Eucharist in silent reverence. Holy Hour a long standing Roman Catholic devotional tradition where you spend an hour in Eucharistic adoration in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. A plenary indulgence is granted for this practice.
We ask all participants to pray for the success of the Consecration to the Holy Family Mass that will follow Holy Hour at 5 pm. This is a wonderful way for families to spend additional time together in prayer and to prepare themselves for the mass.
All are welcome to attend whether you plan on attending the 5 pm mass or not. Those who are attending the 5 pm Mass and taking part in the Consecration to the Holy Family are encouraged to attend.
During Holy Hour the Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered so that those planning in taking part in the Consecration to the Holy Family can (as suggested in the preparatory guide) be forgiven of their sins and attend the Consecration in a state of grace. If you need a refresher on how the Sacrament of Reconciliation works please read our Confession 101 Refresher Guide that can be found here.
Thank you in advance for your attendance, prayers, and support– we appreciate it!
