Dear Parishioners and Friends of St Denis,

Just as the month of May is set aside by the Church for special devotion to our Blessed Mother, so the month of June is dedicated to devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, that human heart of our Lord, pierced by a soldier’s lance as He hung upon the Cross, from which Blood and Water flowed, the fount of the sacramental life of the Church  that human heart of our Lord that burns with love for us, with the very love of God Himself.

So why June for devotion to the Sacred Heart? Because the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, established for the "He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine whole Church, by Pope Pius IX in 1856, is celebrated on the and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is second Friday after the Feast of Pentecost, which normally will fall sometime within the month of June. Because of how late mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what st

But devotion to the Sacred Heart in the Church dates way back before the establishment of a universal Feast of the th MASS INTENTIONS Sacred Heart in the 19 century. There are roots of the devotion evident in the Scriptures and certainly in the writings of the th Fathers of the Church, as well. In the 13 century, St Francis of
