On this First Friday of the new year, we look forward to the installation of our Sacred Heart statue.  He is 50 inches tall and arrived in Omaha on the First Friday of December, new and unpainted.  The CMD Sisters finished painting him this week.

Slowly, but surely, we are transforming our plain box of a building into a Catholic chapel.  Soon Fr. Geckle will start saying Mass on First Fridays for us.  Deo gratias!

In this 20-minute sermon, Fr. Benedict Hughes, CMRI, explains the history of the devotion to the Sacred Heart.
