Fr. Carney will be giving a talk on The Holy Face. A devotion was first presented to Sr. Mary of St. Peter in Tours, France in 1843 by our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus revealed to her a powerful devotion He wanted to be established throughout the world – The Holy Face Devotion. The purpose of this Devotion is to make reparation for the sins of the world – specifically the sins of blasphemy, irreverence, and profanation of Sundays and Holy Days. After many years and struggles, the devotion was approved by the Church authorities. The Confraternity of the Holy Face Devotion was established on October 25, 1884, and elevated to an Archconfraternity on October 1, 1885, by Pope Leo XIII.
