Adoration with Deacon Joe Hubbard

We pray in thanksgiving for our Pastor, Fr. James M. DiPerri as this past week he celebrated his 32nd Anniversary of Priesthood Ordination. 

The image below illustrates the Chalice containing the Blood of Christ and Sacred Host which is the Body of Christ resting upon the Sacred Scriptures, covered by the priestly stole of ordination highlighting the significance of Mass.  The olive branches symbolize the sacraments that blessed oil is used in their celebration. This artistic image appeared on Fr. DiPerri’s first Mass program in 1988.

Act of Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary written by Fr. DiPerri.

Prayed publicly at first Mass on June 26, 1988 and prayed yearly on Ordination Anniversary

O Most loving Mother of God, as I continue the work of your Son, I confidently entrust my priestly calling to you. Guide and protect me that I may be faithful to your Son, Jesus, and His Church, by fulfilling the sacred promises of my priestly vocation. In my consecration to you, the Queen of Peace, may I ever seek refuge in your Immaculate Heart as I journey on this sacred pilgrimage. May I grow deeper in my love for the One God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and for His people. Holy Mother, may I remain faithful in God’s service to the end. Amen.
