Feast Day observed on the Friday following the second Sunday after Pentecost.

Just below the west transept window rests a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This beautiful image reminds us not only of Christ’s great love for us, but his great sacrifice for our benefit, “…one soldier thrust his lance into his side…” (John 19:34). In Christ’s “meek and humble heart,” we find “rest.” (Matthew 11:29)

In 1673, Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, a French nun and mystic, had several revelations where she was asked to encourage Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. Her devotion to this spread and today, this depiction of our Savior is one of the most well-known and loved.
