Consecration of the U.S. to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

On Thursday, June 11, the U.S. bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Here in the Archdiocese of Atlanta the diocesan consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus will take place at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Atlanta on Friday, June 12, at 7pm. Space will be limited, so plan accordingly if you plan to attend.

Here at Prince of Peace, we will also celebrate Mass at the same time, on Friday, June 12, at 7pm.

In addition, we will offer Novena prayers before the start of all Masses beginning on June 3rd. Please join your prayers with those of the US Bishops for the benefit of our nation!

As we entrust our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, let us pray for healing where there is division, peace where there is unrest, and a renewal of faith in every heart. May the Lord guide our leaders, bless and strengthen our families, and draw all people ever closer to His Sacred and merciful Heart.
