The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11 during its Spring Plenary Assembly in Orlando, Florida, as the country prepares to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The consecration, to be led by Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City, president of the USCCB, will take place during a concelebrated Mass. Parishes and individual Catholics nationwide are being invited to prepare through 250 hours of Eucharistic Adoration, 250 works of mercy and a novena to the Sacred Heart.
