Description

INTRODUCTIONOn behalf of the Diocese of Bridgeport, join us for a season of Eucharistic Renewal in the Diocese of Bridgeport. Presented by the Guild of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a personal apostolate of Bishop Frank Caggiano, Heart to Heart is a series of monthly Eucharistic adorations that will travel throughout the diocese this September through May. This is a night for families and people in all seasons to gather and gaze upon our Lord, to be renewed in his presence, and encounter his Mercy. There will be preaching, confessions, and hospitality. In these Heart to Heart nights, all are welcome to meet new and old friends as we sit in Adoration to be renewed by Christ's Real Presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament. We will have the opportunity to be stirred by God's Word, encounter Jesus in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and have our hearts lifted in reverent praise & worship. Though we hope and encourage families to attend together, a few Virtus-trained childcare volunteers will be onsite for children 7 years of age and younger so moms and dads may have an opportunity for personal prayer. We hope this evening provides an opportunity for all folks in all seasons to encounter Christ's light, love, mercy, and renewal, which knows no bounds. Join us - Jesus is waiting for you!

There is no charge for this event though your generous donations will help ensure the continuation of this ministry. Do I have to register to attend? Kindly register through this Eventbrite page so we can properly plan for each evening, particularly if little ones are attending and you plan to utilize the Virtus childcare offered. Can you tell me more about the childcare? Childcare for children 7 years old and younger will be available from 6:30pm - 9:00pm. Kindly note that Heart to Heart nights are meant to be experienced as a family. While we encourage families to spend as much time together before the Blessed Sacrament, the childcare offered is meant to give parents some time for personal prayer during the evening. Kindly note, some paperwork will need to be completed onsite by the parent or legal guardian of each child. What is the Blessed Sacrament? Of all the gifts that God has given his Church, the Blessed Sacrament is, without question the greatest, for it is nothing less than the body, blood, soul and Divinity of Jesus himself. In the Eucharist, our Divine Savior dwells among us. It is the source and summit of our Christian life. What is Eucharistic Adoration? Eucharistic Adoration is spending time in prayer, worship, and contemplation before Jesus who awaits us in love, present in the Blessed Sacrament. It is a time of Jesus gazing at us and us gazing at Jesus who is dwelling among us in humility and vulnerability. For this reason, we submit our hearts and minds fully and attentively to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Will there be moments of silence? Absolutely, there will be moments of silence throughout the evening Do I have to be Catholic to attend? All are welcome to join. We simply ask for all our brothers and sisters to observe the reverent atmosphere of worship set forth within the church sanctuary. Where can I find information on the rest of the Heart to Heart nights? The full season schedule will be released shortly. Registering for this event will add you to our mailing list so you can receive information on future Heart to Heart nights.
