The Sacred Heart League warmly invites you to become a member!

What does His heart mean to you? The Sacred Heart League is a reverent group of members with an especial devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a practice revealed to a French nun, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in 1695, by Jesus himself. Our society honors that request in our humble service. We have only twelve active members who come to the meetings and other members who are homebound yet support the mission of the organization with their membership dues and prayer. Founded in 1874 at St. Francis Cathedral and now 138 years old, the mission of the Sacred Heart League is the sanctification of its members through the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Secondarily, the League purchases the altar breads that will become our consecrated hosts for the church and some missions. This service is directly linked to the reparation for sins committed against the Eucharist which St. Albert the Great proclaimed was the first gift of the Sacred Heart to us, his body.

Looking for a small yet devotional ministry to join?

The League only meets four times a year, on the first Sunday of March, June, September and December at 1:30 pm in Clare Hall. Our meetings last about one half hour followed by refreshments. The Sacred Heart League raises money through bake sales to purchase the hosts and promotes sociability amongst its members and the parish. Masses are offered annually for living and deceased members along with a rosary. The members enjoy seasonal raffles and a Christmas party.


Please help keep this ministry alive, invigorated and re-imagined for the 21st century with your participation. All are welcome— men and women, young and old. Your time or membership dues of only $15.00 a year are a small sacrifice that will keep the devotion to the Sacred Heart a vital part of our shared Catholic tradition. If you can’t join, please keep a private devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through novenas, morning offerings, or honoring him in your home. For more information contact Skya Abbate: skya@acupuncturecollege.edu or call President Helen Garcia at 505.988.1351.


I will give to my faithful all the graces necessary in their state of life.

I will establish peace in their homes.

I will comfort them in all their afflictions.

I will be their secure refuge during life and above all in death.

I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.

Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.

Tepid souls shall become fervent.

Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.

I will bless every place in which an image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored.

I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.

Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart never to be effaced. I promise in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the first Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their Sacraments. My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

+How good and pleasant it is to dwell in the heart of Jesus+
