Sacred Heart Shrine Is for Everyone

...says Father Thomas G. Keller, archdiocesan promoter of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

"This shrine will be a representation of God’s enduring love for us, Jesus’ enduring love for his Church. It’s an invitation for everyone, not just the people of the Cathedral Basilica Parish, but the whole archdiocese and even people who visit the cathedral from around the world," said Father Keller.

The key, he said, is that the shrine is "an invitation to come to a deeper love for our Lord."

...Archbishop Raymond Burke intends to consecrate the archdiocese to the Sacred Heart when the image is installed. The enthronement and consecration will be at a 5 p.m. Mass June 17, the Sunday after the June 15 Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
As noted earlier, here are some great pics.

Donations marked for the shrine’s construction may be sent to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, 4431 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63108. For information call (314) 373-8200.
