Enthronement of the Sacred Heart in Your Home

The center of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the Enthronement of an image of the Sacred Heart in the home. The Enthroned image of the Sacred Heart, which may be a picture or a statue, expresses Christ’s true Kingship, daily reminding each member of the family to follow in His royal way by making reparation for sins committed and by striving to serve God and neighbor more lovingly. (Excerpt from “Enthronement of the Sacred Heart” by Raymond Card. SRE Burke)

For more information about organizing an Enthronement, contact your Cor Jesu captain to invite your neighbors, contact the office at parishoffice@shgr.org to schedule a priest to visit your home, and check out this document for the format of Enthronement and a list of For Jesu captains: https://shgr.org/enthrone/
