The inaugural procession for the Sacred Heart took place in Wandsworth, in the Archdiocese of Southwark, on Saturday 14th June. It was a beautiful, sunny, warm Spring day.
After attending Mass which began at 10.30am, over 60 faithful, including clergy, processed from St. Mary Magdalen Church to Wandsworth’s Town Hall. Hymns were sung and at the Town Hall, the Epistle from the Feast of the Sacred Heart was read, the borough was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and a prayer written to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Pope Pius IX was prayed by all. After this time of reflection, the procession went around the Town Hall and then returned to the Church were refreshments were served.
