Pray for our

Bishops

10 - 16 November 2024

“Prayer was made without ceasing
by the Church unto God for Peter.”

National Reparation Society’s

Bishops Week

10-16 November 2024

Reparations Week at the Shrine is a special thing in November because of the USCCB meeting that takes place in Baltimore every year. Instead of the usual Masses and reparations offered during the first week of each month, we will continue our tradition of “praying for Peter without ceasing” during the week the bishops gather here in America’s premiere see.

Beginning on the 10th and concluding on the 16th of November, we will offer daily Masses in reparation for the sins, offenses, and neglects of all priests, bishops, and popes, both living and deceased. Saturday’s Holy Hour will be offered for our bishops. This week is also an especially powerful opportunity to pray for the Church in America from here at the Shrine because Friday, the 15th, is a feast day marking the establishment of the nation’s first diocese right here in Baltimore, just a block away from the Shrine!

Join us in this very special and important spiritual work. Use the buttons below to submit your intentions, to pledge your private acts of reparation, and to give alms.

You may enroll your intentions without giving a donation of alms, but every donation in any amount helps us to continue our spiritual work at the Shrine.

For if the first and foremost thing in Consecration is this, that the creature's love should be given in return for the love of the Creator, another thing follows from this at once, namely that to the same uncreated Love, if so be it has been neglected by forgetfulness or violated by offense, some sort of compensation must be rendered for the injury, and this debt is commonly called by the name of reparation.
—Pope Pius XI

The

National Reparation Society

at the National Shrine of Saint Alphonsus Liguori

Only 35 miles from the White House and Capitol Hill, the Shrine is a fitting home for a spiritual society dedicated to making reparation for our sins, neglects, and offences – as individuals and families, as a Church, and as a nation. In fact, as a national shrine, we even have a duty to pray for the soul of our nation. And we invite you to join us.
