Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Vatican announced on Tuesday. The Consecration will take place simultaneously in Rome and Fatima.
Newsroom (15/03/2022 1:10 PM Gaudium Press) Via a Press release published on Tuesday March 15, The Holy See Press office informed that “On Friday, March 25, during the Celebration of Penance at which he will preside at 5 p.m. in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”
“The same act, on the same day, will be carried out in Fatima by His Eminence Cardinal Krajewski, Apostolic Almoner, as envoy of the Holy Father,” added the Vatican press release.
The Holy Father follows up on the request made by the Ukraine’s Latin Rite Catholic bishops earlier this month to consecrate Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
