More Than 1,000 Students Gather at Cathedral Basilica for Sacred Heart Mass
More than 1,000 students from Catholic schools across the Archdiocese of Philadelphia gathered at the Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul on Oct. 16 for a Mass honoring the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez served as the principal celebrant and homilist, while Auxiliary Bishop Keith J. Chylinski concelebrated the liturgy. The Mass acted as the keynote celebration for the Archdiocese’s Sacred Heart Initiative. Students participated in the service as choir members, altar servers, readers, and gift bearers.
The liturgy took place on the memorial of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque to highlight devotion to the Sacred Heart and the mission of Catholic education.
