Holy Hour presentations of the Icon of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
 Painted by Pompeo Batoni 1767
We would like to invite everyone to attend one or more Holy Hour presentations of the Icon of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This event is a Pilgrimage of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Icon as a tribute to the 350th anniversary of the apparition of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.
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, will be displayed. While the original Icon is displayed and venerated at the Church of the Gesu in Rome, services with |
reproductive icons are being conducted worldwide with 300 icons traveling worldwide.
A Holy Hour will be conducted for one night at the following locations and times. There will be a prayer service held with readings from the Sacred Scriptures followed by time for individual prayer service and adoration. We invite and prayerfully hope that you can spend an hour with our Lord at one of these services:
