The Sacred Heart of Jesus

Last week on Friday we celebrated the Feast of the Sacred Heart. The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is a celebration that falls 19 days after Pentecost, on a Friday. The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus emphasises God’s love and mercy. In fact, that love and mercy is so intense that the symbol of the sacred heart is a human heart encircled with a crown of thorns, crowned with a cross, and radiating flames: this is how much Christ loves us.

Grant, O Lord, to your Church, assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the divine heart that wrought our salvation; to it be glory and honour forever. Amen.

Confirmation

Congratulations to those students who made the Sacrament of Confirmation last weekend. This is an important step on their faith journey as they become adult members of the Catholic Church.
