The Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

By Erica Evans • June 5, 2026
The Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is celebrated on Saturday, the day following the Feast of the Sacred Heart. Mass will be at 10am. The feast reminds us of the joys and sorrows, virtues and hidden perfections of Our Lady and above all, her virginal love for God the Father, her maternal love for her son Jesus and her compassionate love for all persons. Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is based on the imitation of Mary’s ‘yes’ to God as the Mother of Jesus. In this devotion, love is the result, rather than the “object” of the devotion; the object being rather to love God and Jesus by uniting one’s self to Mary for this purpose and by imitating her virtues, to help one achieve this. As we sing in the great Marian hymn, “Immaculate Mary! Our hearts are on fire; your title so wondrous fills all our desire.”

Solemnoty of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

By Webmaster • June 5, 2026
Friday is the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Mass on the Solemnity will be at 10am. As St. John says in his Gospel (19:33), when Jesus was dying on the cross "one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water." The celebration of the Sacred Heart is associated with the physical wound and the associated sacrifice, the "mystery" of both blood and water pouring from Christ's chest and the devotion God asks from humankind. Pope Pius XII wrote about the Sacred Heart in his 1956 encyclical, Haurietis Aquas (On Devotion To The Sacred Heart). Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is devotion to Jesus Christ Himself, but in the particular ways of meditating on His interior life and on His threefold love: His divine love, His burning love that fed His human will and His sensible love that affects His interior life. We come to the Sacred Heart as those who love Jesus and wish to align our hearts to His. At Mass on Friday, we have the opportunity to renew our dedication to Jesus’s Sacred Heart. The Mass readings and prayers for the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus are on page 87 of the Parish Mass Book.

An Act of Spiritual Communion


My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

 Amen.
