St. Mary's Consecration of the Parish and the Diocese

by Rev. Jerome Charles Romanowski, Pastor

AMDG

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Almighty God as we offer our lives to Thee, may we live confidently in Thy gracious gift of divinity. We are members of the One, Holy Catholic Apostolic Church and, weak as we are, we are assured of thy bountiful assistance in all things and we attest that we always received whatever graces we need in the time of peril. Now we humbly consecrate all that we are through the Blessed Mother of Thy Divine Son, asking her Immaculate Heart and the Sacred Heart of Jesus to give all honor and glory to thy Divine Majesty. Not only do we consecrate our individual lives and all that we have to Thee, but as members of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church we offer our sacred families, our parish St. Mary's, our diocese under Bishop Joseph, and pray that Thou would send Thy Holy Spirit, Thy Paraclete, Whom Thy Divine Son promised to send to teach us all things. We acknowledge His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, as the successor of St. Peter, feeding us with the Eternal Food that Thy Divine Son exhorted St. Peter to feed His Sheep. May that food of the Soul be with us as we adore Thy Presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We pray, as always and everywhere, through with and in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Mother of God and the Church, through with and in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and all the Angels and saints that Thou send Thy Holy Spirit to renew ourselves, our parish, and the diocese of Camden. We make our consecration and we ask all of this through Thy beloved Son in union with the Holy Spirit one God Forever and Ever. Amen.

"The people in Pitman bought that ground and built that church and it belongs to them. You can't just take it away."

-Anthony Mecca, Queen of Peace Parish, Pitman (also on the slate for closure), May 8, 2008

"This is God's house. Let us live here with God as we've done all these years."
