The Sacred Heart of Jesus & Immaculate Heart of Mary

Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the home.

Where does your family gather at the end of a day? That familiar room can become a place to pray together. In a home enthronement, a family gives an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus a place of honor and welcomes Christ as King of the home. The family also consecrates itself to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, asking her to lead everyone closer to her Son.

What happens at home?

The family prepares for the ceremony, chooses a place for the sacred images, and gathers for prayer. The World Apostolate of Fatima (WAF) offers a guide for families and clergy and explains how a priest or deacon can take part. Read WAF’s Home Enthronement guide and find a contact.

After the ceremony

The images give everyone a familiar place to return to. A parent might stop there to give thanks for a child. Family members might gather there to pray the Rosary or find the courage to ask one another’s forgiveness. These ordinary acts are occasions to welcome the Will of God into family life.

As members of WAF, we follow its methods and publications. If you would like to prepare for an enthronement, arrange one locally, or help other families begin this devotion, contact your WAF diocesan division. If your area is unlisted, use the national contact on WAF’s Home Enthronement page.
