Totus Tuus - To Jesus through Mary.

To impel the beauty of the new evangelization – this is the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel; Its founder, Monsignor João Dias explains."The Heralds of the Gospel is a private association of faithful with a very special charism based essentially on three points: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope."

The Heralds of the Gospel are an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, the first to be established by the Holy See in the third millennium, during a ceremony which occurred during the feast of the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) in 2001.

The Heralds of the Gospel strive to be instruments of holiness in the Church by encouraging close unity between faith and life, and working to evangelize particularly through art and culture. Their apostolate, which differs depending upon the environments in which they work, gives pride of place to parish animation, evangelizing families, providing catechetical and cultural formation to young people, and disseminating religious Iiterature.

July is the month of devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus



"Since the value of the blood of the God-man, Jesus Christ, is infinite, and the love which moved him to shed it is infinite, it is not only fitting but highly proper that all those born again in its salutary torrents pay it the homage of adoration and grateful love." From the apostolic letter: Inde A Primis by Blessed John XXIII

Catholics have great devotion to the Precious Blood and there is a pious tradition of saying the following prayer throughout the day with our arms extended in the form of a cross.

Eternal Father,
I offer Thee
the precious blood of Jesus
in atonement for my sins,
for the Church,
for the conversion of sinners,
the souls in purgatory
and to promote devotion to His Sacred Passion.

We are encouraged to say this prayer as we go about our daily duties, offering to our loving Father the sacred Passion of His Son, extending the graces of the Holy Mass through out the day.

May our loving and compassionate High Priest intercede before the Father for us, our families, our homes, our nation, and the world.
