June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Archdiocese of Toronto has shared a helpful resource for families interested in enthroning the Sacred Heart in their home.

Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!

Today marks the beginning of the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In his pastoral letter, Resting in the Heart of Jesus, Bishop Joseph Dabrowski, CSMA, invites us to draw nearer to the Heart of Christ — a heart of mercy, compassion, and faithful love.

You may have heard this letter read by your pastor during the homily this past weekend. Now, as we enter the Month of the Sacred Heart, we invite you to revisit the pastoral letter and journey with us throughout June.

Read the letter, and explore prayers, reflections, and resources for the Month of the Sacred Heart:
