Sacred Heart Icon Prayer Service
Date:               Sunday, August 23rd
Time:              6:00 PM
Where:           Sacred Heart Catholic Church
What:              Eucharistic Holy Hour with Pilgrim Icon 

Friday afternoon a special icon of the Sacred Heart of Jesus will be arriving for one full week. The Knights of Columbus sponsor this event.  Their website describes the program well.
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.

The Sacred Heart Holy Hour includes readings from Sacred Scripture and reflections from Pope Francis on the Sacred Heart, as well as the Divine Mercy Chaplet, prayers to the Sacred Heart and time for silent prayer. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament may also be included. Following the holy hour, families are encouraged to enthrone the Sacred Heart in their homes by placing an image of the Sacred Heart in a place of honor and conducting an enthronement ceremony.

Since the first traveling pilgrim icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1979, more than 191,000 council and parish prayer services with some 23 million participants have been held.
The icon will be displayed in the Church throughout the week and we will be holding a holy hour prayer service on Sunday, August 23 at 6:00 PM in the church. In addition to these prayers, parishioners from both communities are invited to enthrone their home to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A link to the enthronement prayers can be
