The Sacred heart of Jesus and the Immaculate heart of Mary are beautiful and traditional devotions in the Catholic faith. I always have a special place in my heart for these devotions, and I want to share that love with my children. When we celebrate the Sacred and Immaculate heart feast days with our Catholic kids, they can learn about how perfectly Jesus and Mary love them!
Days To Celebrate The Sacred And Immaculate Hearts
- Month of June: dedicated to the most Sacred Heart Of Jesus
- The solemnity of the most Sacred Heart Of Jesus: 19 days after Pentecost (always a Friday) and the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is the Saturday directly following. (almost always in June)
- Month of August: dedicated to the Immaculate Heart Of Mary
- St. Valentine’s Day- A day that everyone loves to celebrate hearts!
So just like I associate snow and sweaters with Christmas, I associate t-shirts, sunblock, long days with the kids, and summertime fun with the Sacred and Immaculate hearts! It would really make a great theme for Catholic vacation bible school!

Again, these feast days are celebrated during the Summer. So I’m not going to figure out a way to associate hot chocolate with the Sacred Heart. If I’m thinking about the colors of hearts, and seasonal summer food, that’s going to compel me to start thinking of watermelons, strawberries and the such. You can also check out these cute food ideas!
