THE FIRST FRIDAY DEVOTION
is a Catholic practice that involves attending Mass and receiving Communion on the first Friday of each month for nine months in a row. The devotion honors the Sacred Heart of Jesus and makes reparation for sins.
The devotion began in the 17th century when Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a Visitation nun in France. Jesus asked for these practices to honor and consecrate oneself to His Sacred Heart.

~ Attend Mass on the first Friday of each month for nine months in a row
~ Receive Communion
~ Go to Confession if you are not in a state of grace
~ Make reparation to the Sacred Heart for sinfulness and ingratitude

The Church grants a Plenary indulgence to those who complete the devotion.

THE FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION
is a Catholic practice of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It involves making specific requests on the first Saturday of five consecutive months.
The devotion is intended to make reparation for sins against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. According to Sister Lúcia of Fátima, the Virgin Mary requested the devotion during apparitions in Fátima, Portugal and Pontevedra, Spain.
Our Lady promised personal salvation to those who complete the five First Saturdays.


~ Go to confession
~ Receive Holy Communion
~ Pray five decades of the Rosary
