Sacred Heart Home Enthronement
All weekend long, bring an image or statue of the Sacred Heart to Mass to be blessed by our clergy. This can be used for a home enthronement to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A Sacred Heart home enthronement blesses a family by formally honoring Jesus as the King and center of their home. This devotion invites His peace into daily life, sanctifies the household, and reflects His promise to bless every home where an image of His Heart is revered. It also helps transform the home into a true “domestic church,” fostering a spirit of daily prayer and acts of love and reparation.
Mary Our Queen’s Deacon Tom Gotschall explains the beauty of a home enthronement to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the blessings bestowed.
