Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This House resolution recognizes June 12, 2026, as the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and honors the theological and historical significance of Sacred Heart devotion in the Catholic faith. The resolution does not create any new laws, appropriate funding, or establish binding requirements; rather, it expresses the House's support for this religious observance and commends the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for consecrating the country to the Sacred Heart on America's 250th anniversary. The resolution emphasizes Catholic teachings about Christ's divine love and mercy, traces the history of Sacred Heart devotion in America including Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne's pioneering work in Missouri, and calls for renewed devotion through prayer, repentance, and family observance. It also encourages Americans to reject pride and self-centeredness in favor of humility as taught in Christian tradition. This is a commemorative resolution that carries symbolic rather than legal significance.
