As part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, in a historic moment, the U.S. Bishops will consecrate the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, 2026, and invite all parishes to join in this consecration. The initiative hopes to encourage broader Catholic participation in the commemoration, and will be livestreamed on the
USCCB YouTube channel.

Join the U.S. Church from June 3-11 in praying this Novena to the Sacred Heart, which will conclude with the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
