Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus — a feast that reminds us of the immeasurable love, mercy and compassion of Christ for each one of us.

The beautiful Altar of the Sacred Heart in Whitefriar Street Church stands as a constant invitation to bring our prayers, hopes, worries and intentions before the Lord whose Heart is always open to us.

As Pope Leo XIV has reminded us, from the Heart of Jesus we learn compassion for the world and discover anew that we are loved, known and never abandoned.

You are warmly invited to join us today as we celebrate this great feast:

🕚 Masses: 11.30am and 3.00pm

Throughout the day, candles may be lit at the Altar of the Sacred Heart, and all are welcome to spend some time in prayer before the Altar.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.

🎉 This Sunday we are excited to gather at Whitefriar Street Church to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Carmelite presence in Zimbabwe.

In 1946, the first Carmelites from the Irish Province travelled to what was then Southern Rhodesia, responding to the missionary call of the Church with faith and generosity. What began with a small group of missionary friars has grown into a vibrant Carmelite presence within the life of the Church in Zimbabwe today.

We are honoured that Most Rev. Dermot Farrell, Archbishop of Archdiocese of Dublin, will celebrate this special anniversary Mass.

📅 Sunday, March 22
🕓 4 p.m. Mass
📍 Whitefriar Street Church, Dublin

All are warmly welcome as we give thanks for this shared story of faith, friendship, and mission between Ireland and Zimbabwe. 🙏
