On December 19th 2019 during the week of the O antiphons “ Oh come! Oh come Emanuel!” the Knights of Columbus Council 1425 of St. John the Evangelist Church in Jeanerette, Louisiana invited Jesus to come into their hearts as they enthroned their organization to the Sacred Heart of Jesus with a very special mass celebrated by the Most Reverend J. Douglas Deshotel, D.D. Bishop of Lafayette. We were also very blessed to have the Bishop stand in the lead role as facilitator of the enthronement ceremony itself. After the ceremony Bishop Deshotel shook his finger at me and said “keep doing this “Our Lafayette diocese is truly blessed to have such a wonderful Bishop with a beautiful deep devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and we the apostolate are so grateful for his support of our ministry.

Sacred Heart Apostolate Relocates
to the
Diocese of Knoxville
Living in the Company of Our Lord Jesus
The family is the most shattered of all entities and the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart is the cure for crises in families. It is the remedy for these times we live in. Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey, the founder of this apostolate, was commanded by Pope (St.) Pius X to bring Christ alive in families throughout the world. Fr. Mateo's vision fits the needs of today's families.The Apostolate is moving in a new direction; we have a vision and this is the time! Our mission statement is still valid a global project.
Our Mission Statement
The Sacred Heart Apostolate, Inc. is a global movement for creating a civilization of love through the Enthronement to renew societies by centering families on the Love of God incarnated in the Heart of Christ and founded by Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey SSCC in Paray-le-Monial, France in 1907. It has been endorsed by the Catholic Church as a global movement which continues to renew families in every continent.
“Welcome the presence of the Heart of Christ, entrusting your home to Him Seek to draw from this open heart the saving and healing love that is so necessary for families today in order to build a civilization of love.”
“May the Holy Spirit make you brave in your initiatives so that you will be able to offer your contribution to the building up of the Civilization of Love.”
“The heart of Jesus is the ultimate symbol of God’s mercy, but it is not an imaginary symbol; It is a real symbol which represents the center, the source from which salvation for all humanity gushed forth.”
