Consecration to the Holy Family

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.
