Please join us in praying for Bishop Daniel E. Thomas on his birthday today, especially as he joins the other US Bishops to consecrate the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus!

Today, June 11, 2026, join in prayer as the Catholic bishops of the United States consecrate our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as part of the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.

Watch the livestream at 4 p.m. (ET) from the bishops’ Spring Plenary Assembly in Orlando. During this historic Mass, Catholics across the country are invited to unite in prayer as our nation is entrusted to the loving Heart of Christ.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus pour out His mercy, peace, and grace upon our nation.
