Dear Friend of the Sacred Heart,

True devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus takes more than love and devotion — it takes courage.

Your devotion and courage inspire our work! As we attend our parish churches, we have the opportunity to pour out our love for God in prayer and feel the presence of Jesus in this sacred environment. We are then sent out to be the living Gospel to those in need of His Word. We are called by God to acknowledge the presence of Jesus in the stranger, the homeless and those whose life choices differ from our own.

"Be strong, and let your heart take courage …" — Psalm 31:24

You, my friend, answer His call with the courage of your conviction. Thank you for sharing your blessings with the poor and needy, letting them know they are worthy of God's love by declaring yours.

Be assured you and your intentions will be remembered in our daily Masses and prayers. May God always grant you the courage to live your devotion to His Sacred Heart.

Gratefully in Christ,
