While most people are familiar with the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, few know of the Sacred Heart badge. Yet the badge begins with St. Margaret Mary Alacoque’s visions of the Sacred Heart in France, then appears in a Marian apparition, and obtains papal approval.

Speaking of Jesus revealing his Sacred Heart, on July 2, 1674, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque said, “He promised to pour out into the hearts of all those who honor the image of His Heart all the gifts it contains in fullness, and for all those who would wear this image on their persons He promised to imprint His love on their hearts and to destroy all unruly inclinations.”

She and her novices made many badges with the Sacred Heart image and wore them.

It was worn under the bishop’s direction and credited with stopping the great plague in Marseilles in 1720.

God created men to be the leaders of the faith in their family and in the community. We are encouraging all men to answer this call. One way is to demonstrate your faith to your family by attending communal prayers such as our Men's Rosary. Bring a brother, uncle, father, son, cousin, co-worker, or friend to join us as we gather as men of faith, Friday May 1st in the Church.

Women are invited to pray in the hall at the same time as the men. Refreshments will be provided following the Rosary.
