The World Day for the Sanctification of Priests
The month of June, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, became a popular devotion in the late 1600s. The Heart, with droplets of blood, encircled by thorns, with flames and a cross at the top, and surrounded by divine light, is symbolic of the heart of Jesus and His sacrificial love for humanity. The World Day for the Sanctification of Priests coincides with that of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Members are invited to pray for priests and for personal holiness and a loving heart in imitation of Jesus.
World Blood Donor Day
National Blood Donor Week is observed June 8–14, with World Blood Donor Day celebrated on June 14th. The week recognizes the generosity of voluntary blood donors whose donations help save lives every day through surgeries, cancer treatments, emergency care and ongoing medical needs. As summer approaches and the need for blood and plasma grows, this is an excellent opportunity to promote the League's “Partners for Life” team and encourage members, their families and parishioners to consider becoming donors.

According to Carmelite traditions, on this day, Mary, the Mother of Christ, gave the brown scapular to monastic St. Simon Stock to protect his order from oppression.
