Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
Father Dehon invites us to share with those around us the wonders provided to us by a life rooted in the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
LET US, THEN, GO TO HIM
Letter on the occasion of the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 12, 2026
The Origin and Meaning of the Dehonian Cross
Created in Germany in 1979 as part of a school competition inspired by The Little Prince, the Dehonian Cross has become the international logo of the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart. Its asymmetrical and dynamic shape gives the illusion of a beating heart at the centre of suffering. The Dehonian Cross explained.
“Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.”
On the feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Jesus and His Mother shower us with numerous graces. Let us read, on this subject, Father Dehon's sixth meditation on the Visitation, extracted from Couronnes d’amour au Sacré-Cœur, written in January 1905.

Poland: A Passion Play That Strengthens the Community
In Stadniki, the Dehonians bring the Passion of Christ to life with a troupe of sixty laypeople united by faith. More than just a performance, this project is a path of formation and a spiritual retreat lived in community. An experience worth sharing on this Good Friday, the day of our Lord's Passion.
Holy Thursday: On the Eucharist and Holy Communion
On this Holy Thursday, the day of the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Orders and the Eucharist, Father Dehon, in his own style, reminds us that in the mystery of the Eucharist, we are most intimately united to Christ and invites us to seize this opportunity.
