Beginning March 4, 2022 as we enter the Season of Lent, we would like to observe the First Friday parish-wide and invite you to join us at the 7:30am Mass to learn more about and participate in this beautiful devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. You don’t need to bring anything except yourself and be in a state of Grace.
Between 1673 and 1675, our Lord Jesus Christ visited Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, a humble nun, asking her for reparation to His Most Sacred Heart for the sins of ingratitude by ourselves and others and promising many graces to those who do so. There are several parts to the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, including what is known as the First Friday Devotion. In this devotion, we are called to receive Holy Communion in a state of Grace on the first Friday of the month for 9 consecutive months with the specific intention to honor and make reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
