Mother Seton & the Sacred Heart: History & Holy Hour

Join us for a special afternoon of history, prayer, and devotion on Saturday, June 13th from 2:00-3:30pm as we explore the rich tradition of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and its connection to Mother Seton and the early Church in America. During this inspiring presentation, discover how Archbishop John Carroll and the Sisters of Charity helped foster devotion to the Sacred Heart in our nation, and how Elizabeth Ann Seton found comfort and strength in the Heart of Christ during times of suffering.

Following the presentation, enter into a peaceful Holy Hour in the Basilica featuring guided prayer, the rosary, litany, and Eucharistic Adoration. As the U.S. Catholic Bishops consecrate our nation to the Sacred Heart during this 250th year of America, this event offers a meaningful opportunity to deepen your faith and devotion.

This event is free but advanced registration is encouraged. Please check in at the Visitor Center Front Desk.
