Thousands of people flocked to venerate the relics of two Sacred Heart saints in London last week.
The relics of St Margaret Mary Alacoque and St Claude de la Colombière SJ, from Paray-le-Monial, France, arrived at the Jesuit Farm Street Church before stopping off at Our Lady of Victories, Kensington, Wormwood Scrubs prison, Tyburn Convent, the Hospice of St John and St Elizabeth, London Oratory School and St Patrick’s Church in Soho.
Auxiliary Bishop John Wilson of Westminster celebrated the welcoming Mass at Farm Street. This marked the start of a Sacred Heart of Mercy mission in London by the Emmanuel Community, a Catholic association of the faithful founded in France in 1976.
