Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Celebration - Old Town

The Parish of the Resurrection of the Lord plans a daylong celebration of the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus on Friday, June 27, at Holy Family Church in Old Town.

The celebration will include the opportunity for confession from 7 a.m. to 7:45 a.m., Mass at 8 a.m., eucharistic adoration from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., the opportunity for confession during adoration from 5 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. and the Knights of Columbus Pilgrim Icon Prayer Program at 6 p.m.

Through the Pilgrim Icon Program, councils organize a Sacred Heart Holy Hour featuring an icon depicting the most famous image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, painted in 1767 by Pompeo Batoni and now venerated in the Church of the Gesù in Rome. The reproduction bears the blessing of Pope Francis, through the Papal Almoner, and is one of more than 300 icons traveling across the world, from council to council, for veneration and use in prayer services.
