The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus honours the heart of Jesus Christ as a symbol of His passionate love for humanity. It is often depicted as a flaming heart encircled by a crown of thorns. The national theme, Ignite Your Passion, Empower His Mission, follows the Sacred Heart and calls us to share in His passion. Let us honour Him by enthroning the Sacred Heart in our homes and dedicating ourselves and our mission to Him through divine charity and service. National Chairperson of Service Karen Rossiter  

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.
