Bishop Barber joins Pope Francis, other priests worldwide, in consecrating Ukraine and Russia

In the context of the tragic events in Ukraine, Pope Francis has written the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, asking all bishops and their priests to join in an Act of Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25.

Bishop Barber looks forward to participating in this initiative of prayer and mercy for Ukraine together with all the faithful of the world. While Bishop Barber awaits final details on how the Holy Father desires our participation in this Act of Consecration, let us continue to pray for peace. More details will be provided soon.
