As announced in his letter to the faithful on Friday, Bishop Fabbro and Auxiliary Bishop Dabrowski will be joining Pope Francis, other bishops and the faithful from around the world in consecrating Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary this Friday, March 25, after the noon Mass at St. Peter's Cathedral Basilica (approximately 12:30). The Mass and consecration will be livestreamed on the Cathedral's YouTube Chanel. As Bishop said in his letter: "We need to pray for a change of hearts that will lead to reconciliation and so that 'enemies may speak to each other again, adversaries join hands, and peoples seek to meet together' The faithful who are not able to join in the consecration on Friday may offer one decade of the Rosary to our Blessed Mother for this intention."
