As the world continues to face the ongoing effects of the global pandemic of the coronavirus, both the United States and Canada will renew their consecration to the Blessed Mother on May 1, 2020, at 3:00 pm EST. An act of consecration reminds us of the Blessed Mother's faithfulness to God's will. It also allows us to ask her to present our needs before her Son. We will live-stream from Christ the Divine Shepherd Parish at 3:00 pm on Friday. Archbishop José Gomez, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and archbishop of Los Angeles, will renew the consecration televised on EWTN. Our Bishop, David Zubik, will renew the consecration via live-stream on the diocese's YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxi7e8bgFgZ7hvy78qciWyQ).
