In unity with Pope Francis, Bishop James F. Checchio will join in prayer as the Holy Father consecrates Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on March 25 – the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord.
The bishop’s participation in the act of consecration will take place at the 12:10 p.m. Mass at the Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi in Metuchen, in solidarity with the prayer of the Holy Father who will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the same exact time in Rome. All are welcome to attend in person or participate through the cathedral’s livestream accessible through their website: www.stfranciscathedral.org.
