Merry Christmas

Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus [Updated]

Words of the Sacred Heart

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of Heart; and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy, and My burden light."  (Mt. 11:28-30)

Beginning 3 February 2012, St. George Byzantine Catholic Church, 1001 Clinton Street, Aliquippa, PA 15001, will host First Friday devotions to the Sacred Heart, to include 6:30 PM Confession and 7:00 PM Divine Liturgy.  UPDATE: These devotions have been discontinued at St. George Church.  Effective January 2019, First Friday Mass & devotions will be held at St. Titus Church.  See here for details.

Cor Jesu sacratissimum, miserere nobis.  (Most sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!)
