On June 11, 2026, as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Parishes around the country are encouraged to join the bishops in celebrating the consecration of our nation to the Sacred Heart.

Join the U.S. Church from June 3-11 in praying this Novena to the Sacred Heart, which will conclude with the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

Instead of the “First Friday” Mass on June 5, we will celebrate the First Friday Devotion on the Feast of the Sacred Heart on Friday, June 12 with a Holy Hour for our Ordinands and Mass.

• 6:00 PM – Exposition
• 6:00–6:50 PM – Confession
• 6:50 PM – Benediction
• 7:00 PM – Mass

The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus – also the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests – is celebrated on the Friday after the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. This suggests to us that the Eucharist (Corpus Christi) is none other than the Heart of Jesus himself, of the One who “takes care of us” with his “heart”.

Congratulations to the dozens of young people who have come close to Jesus and his Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation. Come Holy Spirit Come!

Join the Seton Shrine on Saturday, June 27th from 10am – 3pm for a dynamic day with renowned Catholic missionary and storyteller Meg Hunter-Kilmer as we explore how Scripture and the lives of the saints illuminate our own path to holiness today. Through powerful stories, deep theological insight, and Meg’s signature humor and authenticity, you’ll discover that sanctity isn’t distant or outdated — it’s fiercely relevant. 

Congratulations to Our Newly Baptized and Confirmed Catholics!

We rejoice to see the fruit of our lives of faith lived in their lives.
