The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will hold its 2026 Spring Plenary Assembly in Orlando, Florida, on June 10-12.
As part of their assembly, the Bishops will concelebrate Mass and consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The act of consecration will take place on Thursday, June 11, and the Bishops will hear reflections on the Sacred Heart ahead of the Mass.
The consecration comes as the US celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4.
The initiative hopes to encourage broader Catholic participation in the commemoration, and will be livestreamed on the USCCB YouTube channel.
Parishes and individual Catholics are being invited to take part through 250 Hours of Adoration and/or 250 Works of Mercy to prepare for the consecration.
In 2024, the late Pope Francis released his encyclical Dilexit nos (He loved us) on the human and divine love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, highlighting the devotion as an antidote to modern superficiality
