The Sacred Heart film is almost here, and the timing couldn't be more meaningful. 🎬❤️‍🔥

Sacred Heart: His Reign Has No End (Sacred Heart Film USA) tells the story of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and the 17th-century apparitions that ignited one of the most beloved devotions in Catholic history, brought to life alongside real, present-day testimonies of healing and conversion. And it arrives in theaters the same week the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops consecrate our nation to the Sacred Heart for the very first time.

Check out this opportunity coming up in August - for families who have a son or daughter living with a disability

St. Joseph’s Family Camp, a beautiful diocesan day designed especially for families who have a son or daughter living with a disability. This Camp Day offers a welcoming, fully accessible environment with Sunday Mass, adaptive activities like the zipline and tractor pull, family faith formation, and plenty of time for fun and connection at Ironwood Springs Christian Ranch in Stewartville.

It’s a joyful opportunity for families to pray, play, and grow together in a supportive Catholic community. We’re grateful to help sponsor and I hope to see you and you and your family there. I know firsthand that living with and caring for a loved one with a disability is a lot - you deserve the rest, fun and rejuvenation. --Elizabeth, Exec Director
