THE SOCIETY OF THE SACRED HEART:

LAY FAITHFUL LIVE THE SPIRITUALITY OF THE INSTITUTE

A lay association within the spiritual family of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, the Society of the Sacred Heart gives the opportunity for lay faithful to participate more deeply by a serious engagement in the spirituality of the Institute. Members of the Society read and meditate often on the various spiritual works and saintly examples of St. Francis de Sales, St. Benedict, and St. Thomas Aquinas. In this way, the members of the Society of the Sacred Heart strive to live a Catholic life in an ever-growing harmony between nature, grace, faith, and culture, totally faithful to the teachings of Holy Mother Church and to the See of Peter, with an emphasis on charity toward God and our neighbor. Members of the Society are invited to place themselves under the spiritual direction of the priests of the Institute. They also participate in spiritual retreats and      gatherings of the Institute’s family organized locally or nationally by the chaplains of the Society of the      Sacred Heart. Members may also participate in the Church’s Liturgical life by the recitation of one of the hours of the Divine Office, for example, Compline, which is the night prayer of the Church.

 Interested lay faithful can become members of the Society of the Sacred Heart by contacting the Institute priest serving at the apostolate closest to them. These faithful are then invited to the national retreat of the   Society, which will take place at the Shrine of Christ the King from Friday, June 12, to Sunday June 14. His Eminence Cardinal George will open the retreat with Solemn Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, and  Monsignor Wach, Prior General, and Monsignor Schmitz, Vicar General and Superior of the Institute’s American houses, will preach the spiritual conferences.  Those interested in membership should contact the Institute priest located at the local apostolate.
