Spiritual Bouquet for Bishop Michael T. Martin, OFM Conv.

Following the consecration of Michael T. Martin, OFM Conv. as the fifth Bishop of Charlotte in a ceremony at Saint Mark in Huntersville last Wednesday (May 29th), and his installation in the Cathedral of Saint Patrick the following day, the Carolina Traditional Liturgy Society is organizing contributions to a Spiritual Bouquet to be presented to the new shepherd of our diocese.

Bishop Martin will need our prayers to support him during this period of transition as he assumes responsibility for the care of more than half a million souls in the 46 counties of western North Carolina encompassed by the Diocese of Charlotte. If you are able to join us in this effort please register your contribution by this Friday, June 7th, the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, at the following location on our website: [Spiritual Bouquet]
