The Cathedral of St. Francis will be dedicating a statue to the Sacred Heart of Jesus after the 12:10 PM mass on Wednesday, August 27.

Please join us in praying for those who are battling addiction or have lost their battle to addiction. May the devotion to the Sacred Heart be one of great hope, grace, and compassion for those of us and our love ones impacted by the struggles of addiction.

"With her for guide, you shall never go astray; while invoking her, you shall never lose heart; so long as she is in your mind, you are safe from deception; while she holds your hand, you cannot fall; under her protection you have nothing to fear; if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary; if she shows you favor, you shall reach the goal." ~ St. Bernard of Clairvaux

I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
"Behold, God's dwelling is with the human race.
He will dwell with them and they will be his people
and God himself will always be with them as their God.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes,
and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain,
for the old order has passed away."

The One who sat on the throne said,
"Behold, I make all things new. - Revelation
