Msgr Brubaker leads parish consecration with 33 Days to Morning Glory

Our group here at Our Lady of Fatima Parish in New Castle, Delaware made our consecration last night on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, October 7, 2014. Above is a photo of our group, minus Jason who took the photo. 

We certainly had Morning Glory this morning with a blood moon in the Western sky! I saw that glory just before starting our Mass. Thank you Julie for all your help for our group and I hope to be in touch after the holidays for Consoling the Heart of Jesus. God bless you.

--Msgr George Brubaker, Pastor Our Lady of Fatima

Leawood, Kansas Parish group consecrates

left to right:  Sara Hicks, Glenn Wells, Joan Wells, Sharon Nicely, and Chris Nicely.

September 7, the eve of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a group of friends from St. Michael the Archangel parish in Leawood, Kansas consecrated to Jesus through Mary using Fr. Michael Gaitley's book 33 Days to Morning Glory. The met at the parish's Mary Chapel to pray the consecration prayer together with their parochial vicar Fr. Daniel Schmitz.

This is a unique group. They originally came together for Renew 2000 and then did bible studies together. In all, they have been meeting almost 15 years. Glenn Wells writes "out of all the studies we have done so far, the 33 Days to Morning Glory was one of the most spiritual journey's we have taken.  Mary is now part of each of our daily prayer."

There will be many more groups consecrating from Kansas City, KS archdiocese as Archbishop Naumann recently announced that he desires the entire diocese to consecrate December 8. CLICK HERE for more details. 

If you need help getting your group started, contact: Julie Musselman   727-709-8649  jkmuss@gmail.com

Archbishop Naumann invites everyone to become Consecrated to Jesus through Mary December 8

As the World Synod on the Family begins this October 2014 and the World Meeting of Families takes place in 2015, Kansas City, Kansas Archbishop Naumann thought this would be an ideal time to invite the families of the Archdiocese to join together in consecrating themselves to Jesus through Mary. 
Therefore, Archbishop Naumann has set December 8, 2014 as the date for a diocesan wide consecration to Jesus through Mary using Fr. Michael Gaitley’s book “33 Days to Morning Glory.” The 33 days of prayer and preparation for the consecration will begin on November 5, 2014. 
source: https://www.archkck.org/consecration-through-mary
This is great news that another diocese is offering the consecration. Recently the Diocese of Ft. Wayne-South Bend, Indiana consecrated, CLICK HERE for story. Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades invited all the faithful to use 33 Days to Morning Glory and over 12,000 souls consecrated on August 15, 2014.
Parishes and Individuals who would like to join Archbishop Naumann and all the souls in Kansas City can start making plans now to begin the consecration on November 5. I work with parishes and small groups to share ideas, answer questions and place orders for all the 33 Days to Morning Glory Materials. 
Contact Julie Musselman 727-709-8649  jkmuss@gmail.com
What is really special about using Fr. Gaitley's 33 Days to Morning Glory book and parish program is that everyone can participate on whatever level they can. 
Everyone can easily read the book, just 2 pages a day, no matter how busy or where they are located. Then many people can join others at the parish or in homes to meet weekly for six weeks to view the DVDs and share their thoughts and comments recorded in the participant packet. 

First, parishes need to order their books for the entire parish. I can  offer very LOW parish prices. Call me for a quote.727-709-8649 or email Julie at jkmuss@gmail.com




Next, to get your parish or home group started, you will need one or more Coordinator Kits. These are available with the 33 Days paper back book for $49.95, or withOUT the book for $39.95.
The Coordinator Kit includes a leader guide on how to start your group, Fr. Gaitley's 2 DVD set with 6 sessions, a participant packet, consecration certificate, rosary, prayer card and a few other goodies. 

Then you need advertise your group in the bulletin, through email, website etc and ask parishioners, family, friends to join in the six week group. Once you know how many will join, you need to order the participant packets.  You may need to estimate how many, as more always show up than register.
These are $29.95 with the 33 Days paper back book , or withOUT the book for $19.95. Each participant packet includes a Consecration Certificate.
On the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, make plans to join Archbishop Naumann for the consecration mass, or offer offer a mass or communal consecration at your parish. Many groups pray the consecration prayer together, enjoy fellowship and some do a service project or gift the parish in some way in honor of Our Lady.
I can help with any questions you might have and coach you on how to get started. I can also make it super easy to get all your materials ordered. Just contact me:

Four women made their Consecration on the Vigil of the Feast of the Assumption 2014, from St. Mary's Catholic Church in Clinton Heights, upstate New York.

They are from left-right Ann Marie Pepin, Mary Bronk, Julie Teal, Kathie Stallmer.


Julie Teal writes All of the women who had participated truly felt Mary was with them during the retreat. I have felt her more with each day. She has encouraged me to meditate daily on her Son's Passion, something that I rarely did before.
"Thank you for the program, Fr. Gaitley!"

Mesa, AZ parish has 200+ parishioners consecrate

Displaying SAM_1132.JPGOver 200 parishioners of Christ the King parish in Mesa, Arizona, consecrated themselves to Jesus through Mary on the Solemnity of the Assumption, August 15, 2014. We were led by our pastor Fr. Matthew Henry, who lost his own mother only two weeks ago. Fr. Matt said the consecration reminded him in a powerful way that he has another mother in heaven.

The group retreat was given to three separate groups at the parish, two in English and one in Spanish. The consecration ceremony was conducted in both English and Spanish, including the consecration prayers. Over 500 consecration books in English and Spanish were distributed at the parish, and many parishioners who were unable to come to the ceremony consecrated themselves at home. At the end of the ceremony, Fr. Matt and a seminarian distributed over 200 Miraculous Medals. It was a beautiful day to honor our Blessed Mother for all she does for us!

Consecration Day at St. Bartholomew Church Wayzata MN

The members of the Rosary Society at St. Bartholomew loved the opportunity to reflect on Mary's God-given role in their lives and renewed their trust in her protection and intercession through the 33-Days to Morning Glory preparation program. Consecration day was simply fantastic, with Mass, hymns, and special blessings composed by our Pastor Fr. Mike for the Miraculous Medals and the participants. We had a nice reception afterwards with food and beverage.

From this event came a desire to honor Our Lady with a statue in the Chapel. After being granted permission to move forward, the participants donated money for the cause and we are in the process of ordering a beautiful statue of Our Lady of Grace to be installed in the Chapel soon.

Praise to God for our holy Mother, and praises to the 33-Days to Morning Glory Retreat Program led by Fr. Gaitely
