Honouring the Sacred Heart of Jesus in June
During this month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we strive to make our hearts love as Jesus does. We begin this month's celebrations on June 6 with First Friday devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We also look forward to celebrating Pentecost on the weekend of June 7-8 and the Solemnity of Corpus Christi on June 21-22. Stay tuned for details about this year's Corpus Christi Procession on June 22!
Let us continue to grow in faith together as a parish family: walking with Mary, filled with the Spirit at Pentecost, and nourished by the Body of Christ in the Eucharist.
