What is the Order of Widows? A widow that makes this profession, consecrates herself to be a woman of prayer and supplications for the Church “night and day”. In addition, they had to take a pledge not to marry again. For this reason, St. Paul indicates that they should be at least sixty years of age, so that they can keep this pledge.
Diane Schmid will be consecrated to the Orders of Widows on Tuesday July 9 at 6:00pm at St. John Vianney church. Bishop Gregory J Bittman will be celebrating the Mass. All are invited. Refreshments to follow.
NOTE: This Mass replaces the regular 7:00pm Mass on Tuesdays.
