Meeting scheduleThe Sacred Heart of Jesus Devotion Ministry invites all parishioners to every First Friday Adoration Mass on at 9:00am, in the church.
The Ministry leaders invite you to come back at 2:00pm to the FAMILY ROOM at the church to consecrate ourselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to learn about the 12 Promises of the Sacred Heart.
All are welcome!

In the 17th century Our Lord Jesus Christ asked St. Margaret Mary Alacoque to give the world His 12 Promises and to encourage everyone to say The Devotion to His Sacred Heart on the First Friday of every month. Our Lord wants the world to know that His Sacred Heart burns with His Love for us.

The purpose of the ministry is to honor Our Lord each First Friday by saying His 12 Promises and praying the chaplet, which is known as the Beads of the Sacred Heart. We will invite parishioners to join us to learn about the 12 Promises and to pray the Beads of the Sacred Heart.
- We will distribute the Sacred Heart of Jesus badges and prayer cards to the parish members from our brochure stand(s) in the back of the Church.
- We plan to make the Beads of the Sacred Heart chaplets available to parishioners who participate in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Devotion on First Fridays.
- Eventually we hope to educate our members about the many saving aspects of the Devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus by using the book, The DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART by Fr. John Croiset, S.J.
- We celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart each year, in June.
- Annually, on Shrove Tuesday we celebrate the Feast of The Holy Face of Jesus, as He is inextricably connected to the Sacred Heart.
- We support attendance at Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday (2nd Sunday of Easter). Divine Mercy is the the completion and fulfillment of the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
All St. Therese parishioners are invited to join the Sacred Heart of Jesus Devotion Ministry!

Beads of the Sacred Heart (Chaplet)Soul of Jesus Christ, sanctify me.
Heart of Jesus Christ, inflame me with love.
Body of Jesus Christ, save me.
Blood of Jesus Christ, inebriate me.
Water out of the Side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy Wounds, hide me.
Let me not be separated from Thee.
Defend me from the malignant enemy.
At the hour of death, call me.
And bid me to come unto Thee.
That with the Saints, I may praise Thee.
For all eternity. Amen.
On chain before each clear bead
Jesus most meek, make my heart like unto Thine.
On each clear bead
We adore Thee, O Jesus, who has been afflicted in the Garden of Gethsemani and who still in our time art outraged in the Blessed Sacrament by the impious conduct of men. O most amiable Saviour, we recognize that Thou alone art Holy, Thou alone art Lord, Thou alone art Most High.
On each red bead
I adore Thee, O most Sacred Heart of Jesus, inflame my heart with the divine love, with which Thine Own is all on fire.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Closing Prayer
O Lord Jesus Christ, who by an ineffable miracle of love, hast deigned to give Thy Heart to men to serve as their nourishment, in order thereby to gain their hearts, graciously hear our humble prayers, and pardon us for the sins of which we confess ourselves guilty before Thee. Cast an eye of compassion and mercy upon those towards whom Thou dost condescend to direct the affections of Thine amiable Heart. And since we desire to honor Thee in the adorable Mystery of the Altar to the utmost of our power and to render Thee most pleasing homage, and for that intention, weep for and detest from the bottom of our hearts all the outrages, contempt, mockery, sacrileges, and other acts of impiety, which ungrateful men in every part of the world have committed against Thee, enkindle therefore in our hearts this divine love with which Thine Own is inflamed, and inspire us with sentiments like unto Thine, in order that we may be able worthily to praise for all eternity the love with which this Sacred Heart burns for us. This is our prayer to Thee who livest and reignest with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
* Prayer by Fr. John Croisset, S.J.

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to Thee I consecrate and offer up my person and my life, my actions, trials, and sufferings, that my entire being may henceforth only be employed in loving, honoring and glorifying Thee. This is my irrevocable will, to belong entirely to Thee, and to do all for Thy love, renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease Thee.
I take Thee, O Sacred Heart, for the sole object of my love, the protection of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my frailty and inconstancy, the reparation for all the defects of my life, and my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be Thou, O Most Merciful Heart, my justification before God Thy Father, and screen me from His anger which I have so justly merited. I fear all from my own weakness and malice, but placing my entire confidence in Thee, O Heart of Love, I hope all from Thine infinite Goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist Thee. Imprint Thy pure love so deeply in my heart that I may never forget Thee or be separated from Thee.
I beseech Thee, through Thine infinite Goodness, grant that my name be engraved upon Thy Heart, for in this I place all my happiness and all my glory, to live and to die as one of Thy devoted servants.
Amen.
Author St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
