Sacred Heart Devotion & Masses

Friday, June 12
In addition to our regularly scheduled Masses at 6:30am at STA and 12:15pm at SJSC, there will be special events in the evening at St. Thomas Aquinas.

6pm Sacred Heart Holy Hour with Eucharistic Adoration & Confession

7pm Mass in of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
 
National Consecration Prayer

On June 11, 2026, as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

Our Parish and all of the others around the country are encouraged to join the bishops in celebrating the consecration of our nation to the Sacred Heart.

The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is an important holy day.  The Sacred Heart devotion is all about reparation (repairing for what is lacking in our prayer life, atoning for our sins, and seeking healing for our wounded hearts in the pierced Heart of Jesus).  I hope these prayers and Masses will be a source of healing and strength for our community and deanery.

(Note: As we are not celebrating on First Fridays, these events are a preparation.  One must still go to Mass on the First Friday of the month to obtain the specific promises of the Sacred Heart regarding First Fridays.)
