There's a good reason why the Feasts of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (June 12) and the Immaculate Heart of Mary (June 13) are celebrated next to each other.
As the USA is consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we return to an idea as old as the Gospel: That God took to Himself a human heart, a Heart that beats with love and mercy for us. And this is closely connected to the Divine Mercy devotion that, in the mysterious providence of God, has spread fastest and farthest from the United States of America.
The apostles gave this saint a name full of meaning. Learn about St. Barnabas on his feast day, June 11.
Dubbed the “Harp of the Holy Spirit,” the “Column of the Church,” and “Sun of the Syrians,” St. Ephrem (feast day: June 9) is revered not only by Roman Catholics, but by Eastern Orthodox and Syriac Orthodox Christians as well.
Marian vocations are thriving! On Ordination Weekend, May 8 and 9, 2026, at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, we welcomed three new Deacons and one new Priest for the Marian Congregation.
Saint Philip Neri, “the Second Apostle of Rome,” was well-known for his humorous and unusual penances, including one involving a chicken. His feast day is May 26.
Mary is the Mother of the Church, of all the members of the Body of Christ — and she is mighty to help us. We honor her on the Monday after Pentecost, May 25.
Learn about the Founder of the Marian Fathers, to whom the Holy See has assigned the title "Patron Saint of Those in Mortal Danger."
May 13 marks the 109th anniversary of Our Lady’s first apparition at Fatima. Our Lady continues to invite us to renewed hope, to deeper conversion of our hearts to Christ, and to remind us of her loving intercession before her Son for all our needs and prayers.
These prayers, one for each day of the week, are today a living embodiment of the message of hope and peace which Our Lady gave the world at Fatima.
It’s so fitting that May is the month of Mother’s Day, celebrated this year on May 10. Every good mother is a good mother insofar as she is a shadow, an imitation of Our Lady, Mother of God, Mother of Mercy, and Mother of All the Living.
Need a miracle? Turn to the patron of those in mortal danger: Saint Stanislaus Papczyński! And pray the Novena, May 9 until his feast day, May 18.
