The bishops are joining Pope Francis in encouraging all people to join them Friday, March 25, the solemnity of the Annunciation of our Lord Jesus Christ, in making a solemn act of consecration of Russian and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so that she, the Queen of Peace, may obtain peace for the world.
