Theme

This year’s Conference for Study & Prayer will focus on the Sacred Heart of Jesus, symbol of divine love and mercy for mankind. As we mark the 350th anniversary of the apparitions of the Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary, we will explore the profound significance of this devotion in our lives and in the history of the Church. Through insightful talks and time of prayer, we will seek to deepen our understanding and foster a renewed commitment to the love of Jesus revealed through His Sacred Heart. Join us as we honor Our Divine King.
