Sacred Heart Confraternity

Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus began in the 11th and 12th centuries of the church. However the Confraternity as we have it today began through the series of apparitions experienced by Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. The devotion is not limited to the members of the confraternity alone. It is actually the duty and obligation of all Christians to practise the devotion.Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus began in the 11th and 12th centuries of the church. However the Confraternity as we have it today began through the series of apparitions experienced by Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. The devotion is not limited to the members of the confraternity alone. It is actually the duty and obligation of all Christians to practise the devotion.

To practise this devotion one needs:· A true love of Jesus Christ and His Sacred Heart, the source of His excessive mercy, help, graces and blessings.· Special respect for, and veneration of, the Blessed Sacrament.· A desire to make Reparation for the neglect, indifference and ingratitude of the majority that results in Jesus Christ being left alone, abandoned and forgotten on our altars, never visited to offer consolation for such neglect, though He has given us the miracle of His Divine Presence in the Blessed Sacrament as a supreme gift to us in His desire to be always with us.
The devotions of the confraternity are a : · A Holy hour every first Friday of the month,   and Thursday preceding the first Friday;·  Grotto devotion every first Saturday.· Night Adoration of the blessed sacrament last Friday of every month;· Divine Mercy devotion;· Family Enthronement of the Sacred Heart.
