Sacred Heart Congress

St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is hosting the 11th Annual Sacred Heart Congress on Saturday, November 5, from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The purpose of the Congress is to gather in unity and prayer to grow closer to the loving and perfect Heart of Jesus.

The Sacred Heart Congress is an annual gathering that has become the largest Sacred Heart event in the nation, providing a wealth of spiritual renewal deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition.

Speakers this year are Fr. Joseph Laramie, S.J., Fr. Thomas Dailey, O.S.F.S., and Bishop Earl K. Fernandes, with emcee Emily Jaminet. Adoration and Benediction will be led by Father Stash Dailey.

This year's theme is “Rebuild, Renew & Restore the Domestic Church through the Heart of Jesus.” We believe that true restoration begins one heart and home at a time and expands to the greater community.

This mini-retreat will be full of prayer and include Mass, confession, Benediction, and formation on how we can better abide in the heart of Jesus and spread this devotion to others.

Doors open at 7:30 a.m., with the rosary at 8:00 a.m. before the event starts.

Register and learn more at www.Welcomehisheart.com. The cost is $15.00/individual or $25.00/family with scholarships available. Free online viewing will also be available.
