The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a profound sign of God's boundless love for humanity. From His pierced Heart flow mercy, compassion, and grace, inviting us into a deeper relationship with Him.

On this Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we are reminded that Christ's love remains constant—patient, and unending. May we turn to His Heart in prayer, entrust our joys and burdens to Him, and strive to reflect His love in our daily lives.

Most Sacred heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

The God we seek is never far away. In the Eucharist, Christ is with His people, offering Himself again and again: “This is my Body… This is my Blood.”

As we celebrate Corpus Christi, we are reminded that Catholic education is rooted in this living encounter with Christ. In our schools, students are invited to learn not only about the faith but also to grow in relationship with the One who nourishes, guides, and forms us through Word and Sacrament.

Wishing all schools a blessed Corpus Christi!
