Christians are consecrated to Jesus Christ by Baptism.
​
In the 18th Century, St. Louis de Montfort had the spiritual insight that, by consecrating themselves to Mary, Christians could draw closer to Mary and Her Son Alike.
​A Person can Consecrate Themselves Any Time of the Year. Here at the Santa Fe Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, we traditionally make (or renew) our Marian Consecrations on the Feast Day of Our Lady of La Leche (October 11th).
In 2024, we will pray the consecration prayer together in the Shrine Church, at 6pm, on the Vigil of the Feast, Thursday, October 10th. All are Most Welcome to join us.
​​The 33 Days of Preparation begin on Sunday, September 8th. You can do this preparation from wherever you are located. If you would like to say the daily prayers as part of a group, please email us at shrine@santafeshrine.org
St. Louis's Own Suggestions for daily prayer over the course of the 33 days are available online for Free.
​
Another set of popular meditations over the 33 days of preparation are written by Fr. Michael Gaitley. This Preparation Book is available On Amazon And in local Catholic Gift Shops. We may have copies of his book to Distribute for Free or Reduced Cost. Please email us at Shrine@SantaFeShrine.org if you need a book.​
