Children, families and the faithful everywhere are invited to follow Manchester Bishop Peter Libasci in a 33-day journey inspired by the Little Flower.

Bishop Peter Libasci of Manchester, New Hampshire, is inviting children, families — and the wider flock — to join him in a consecration to Jesus through Mary, following the spirit of St. Thérèse.

“This is a journey perfect for families, as both adults and children can participate,” says Blythe Kaufman, speaking about the 33-day consecration journey that Bishop Libasci will lead for his diocese. The book he — and everyone participating — will use is Child Consecration: To Jesus through Mary Following in the Spirit of St. Thérèse, the Little Flower.

The consecration journey begins April 10 and concludes May 13 with a special Mass and consecration at the Cathedral of St. Joseph. Bishop Libasci invites everyone — children, families and individuals — to take part. He will lead each day’s readings and prayers, livestreamed from the cathedral. All 25 diocesan schools will participate, and all parishes and faith-formation programs have been invited to join the consecration. …
