Priests of the Sacred Heart
The Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart is a religious community committed to continuing Christ's work of rebuilding our world into God's kingdom of justice and love.
We are pastors in urban and rural parishes. We are involved in teaching, counseling, chaplaincies, and social justice concerns. We are engaged in seminary education and religious formation. In all that we do and to all whom we serve, we strive to bring the love of the Heart of Jesus.
Father Paul's Message
The season of Lent is a time for conversion, a time to turn away from all that would separate us from God, a time to turn to God. Pope Benedict put it beautifully when he said that Lent “is a propitious moment to be converted to love.”
During Lent we are encouraged to become more Christ-like in our attitude towards others: more patient with members of our families, more kind to our neighbors and to strangers, more forgiving and understanding – in a word, more loving to all.
Let us turn to Christ in prayer and ask for the grace we need to follow Him more closely and to live a life of love for Him and for others.
On behalf of the Priests of the Sacred Heart, I want to thank you for your friendship and your prayerful generosity. Your kindness is so important to us as we preach the message of God’s love throughout the world. Be assured that you and your intentions will be remembered in our daily Masses and prayers, especially during this holy season of Lent.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus bless you with the gift of His love as you prepare for the coming feast of His Resurrection.
Gratefully in the Sacred Heart
