Sacred Heart Novena

As we reflect with gratitude on the blessings God has bestowed on our country, our devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus demands that we consider how we might foster truth, justice, and charity in American life.”

— Archbishop Alexander K. Sample

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in June 2026. This pious custom celebrates and marks America’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Through this consecration, the USCCB is inviting all Catholics to lead their lives by faith and see the face of Christ reflected in each sister and brother. Read more about the consecration from the USCCB here.
