PRAYER TO CONSECRATE THE WORLD
Pope Francis asked all the bishops of the world to gather their communities and join in prayer to consecrate the whole world, especially Russia and Ukraine, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Saint Pius X was privileged to host the bishop and local community for the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend's prayer of consecration.

Continue to pray and fast for the countries of Ukraine and Russia and for peace in our world.
Our Lady of Ukraine, pray for us.
Our Lady of Vladimir, pray for us.
Theotokos, pray for us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
