“On 29th March, all are invited to make a personal Act of Dedication of our country to Our Blessed Lady,” Cardinal Vincent Nichols wrote in a pastoral letter. “In doing so we repeat the dedication made in 1381 by Richard II of England who promised this land and its people as the Dowry of Mary.” In an interview with Crux, the rector of Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham discussed the rededication.
