Special programming for the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary

Since this year the date of the solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is Friday, June 24th (followed by the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Saturday, June 25th), our parish aims to foster greater devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which is also the patronal feast of one of our churches, as follows:

As of June 10th, we will make available at no cost copies of the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to anyone of good will who comes to Presentation or Sacred Heart Church.  Indeed, this month we aim to pray the Litany before the final blessing at Mass in the Ordinary Form and we have added the Litany to the Leonine Prayers at Low Mass in the Extraordinary Form.  We encourage everyone to prepare for the solemnity and co-patronal feast of our parish with prayer, which is the foundation of the Christian life.

Next, on Friday, June 24, Holy Mass will be offered at 8 a.m. in the Ordinary Form at Presentation Church and, in the Extraordinary Form, at 11 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church.  

Furthermore, at 6:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church, all people of good will, especially our parishioners and their families (again, everyone of good will is welcome) to a Holy Hour in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to be followed by a light reception afterwards at the Father Grohe Parish Hall downstairs.  Our heartfelt thanks to the Martha and Mary Ladies for arranging the reception!

On Saturday, June 25th, the memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we have scheduled our regular monthly Holy Hour at Sacred Heart Church for that date at 3:15 p.m.  Confessions shall be heard, starting at 4:30 p.m.  The Vigil Mass for the XIII Sunday of Ordinary Time will follow at 5 p.m.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You!
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, make my heart like unto thine!
