Three women have been consecrated as virgins in a rare ceremony in Detroit.
Such a consecration had never taken place before in the archdiocese. As far as records show, it was the first time in the United States that three women had committed their lives at the same time in this way.
The women, who stood in white dresses before the altar of the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament, are “brides of Christ” confirming their intention to dedicate their lives to God in perpetual virginity.
“It’s a promise that we make to be faithful to Christ all our life,” Theresa Jordan said. “ make him a promise of our virginity as a gift back to him.”
