Visit the Relics of Saint Bernadette

For the first time in history, the relics of St. Bernadette Soubirous are making a tour of the United States from April to August, 2022. For members of our parish and surrounding parishes, this provides a unique and beautiful opportunity to go on local pilgrimage to experience the grace of Lourdes!
All are welcome to join a convoy/carpool from Sacred Heart Church and St. Peter’s Church at 9am on Thursday, July 21 to Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Mineral Wells, TX (108 NW 4^th Ave). A signup sheet will be located in the back of church beginning June 23 for those interested in transporting those in need of a ride. Anyone in need of a ride may personally call those who sign up to organize their ride.
Holy Mass will be celebrated by Fr. Keating at 12 noon, followed by a rosary and candlelight procession to the parish’s grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. All will have a chance to venerate the relics or “remains” of Saint Bernadette, who received 18 apparitions from the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lourdes, France in 1858. She died at the age of 35 and her body remains incorrupt. Sacramentals may be touched to the glass case surrounding the reliquary. Many blessings and healings have been obtained through past pilgrimages to Lourdes, and the same may be prayed for during this local pilgrimage.
A movie night showing The Song of Bernadette will be hosted at the Sacred Heart community center in Muenster on July 14 at 7pm. St. Peter’s will also be hosting a movie night (date pending).
To prepare for this wonderful pilgrimage, a novena to St. Bernadette will be prayed from July 13-21. Novena prayer cards can be found in the back of church at Sacred Heart and St. Peter’s two weeks prior to the start.

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen.

EnCourage is an apostolate which provides pastoral care for families and friends of people who experience same-sex attractions and/or gender dysphoria. In many cases, their loved ones have adopted the LGBTQ label, and may have moved away from actively practicing their faith.

Through local chapters and online support, our members receive help and encouragement to understand the experience of their loved ones more deeply, to foster healthy relationships within their families, and to deepen their own relationship with Christ.

The apostolate was first formed in 1987 by families in search of guidance and understanding for supporting loved ones who experience same-sex attractions. In 1992, this group adopted the name EnCourage, and now includes more than 75 chapters worldwide.

Meetings are held monthly at a parish in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  For more information click on the links below.
