Knights of Columbus Pilgrim Icon Program
A Holy Hour in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at St Bridget’s Catholic Church, River Falls will be held on Tuesday, November 18th, 2025 at 4:00 pm. The holy hour, flowing from the jubilee of the 350th anniversary of the apparitions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical letter Dilexit Nos (He Loved Us), is sponsored by Knights of Columbus Bishop Annabring Council 4902.
During the holy hour an icon depicting the most famous image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, painted in 1767 by Popeo Batoni and now venerated in the Church of the Gesu in Rome, will be displayed. The reproduction of the original image bears the blessing of Pope Francis and is one of the more than 300 icons traveling across the world as part of the Knights of Columbus Pilgrim Icon program.
The Sacred Heart Holy Hour will include readings from Sacred Scripture and reflections from Pope Francis on the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as well as the Divine Mercy Chaplet, prayers to the Sacred Heart, and time for silent prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The Icon will be on display in the Church throughout the week until November 25. Prayer booklets and prayer cards will be available for you to use in silent prayer if you so choose. Please take a prayer card home with you as well.

Eucharistic Consecration

What is consecration? According to Catholic Answers, consecration is:
“Consecration, in general, is an act by which a thing is separated from a common and profane to a sacred use, or by which a person or thing is dedicated to the service and worship of God by prayers, rites, and ceremonies.”
(Read more about Consecration here: https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/consecration
Bishop James Powers is calling on all parishes in the Superior Diocese to participate in a special spiritual pilgrimage to Eucharistic Consecration. He observed that “A pilgrimage is a journey designed to reorient our lives: we commit to prayer, penance and transformation. It is not intended for our comfort, but for our conversion.” We will be using Dynamic Catholic’s 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory. St. Bridget has utilized this book and pilgrimage twice before, but this will be different so even if you have been a part of this journey before, please consider joining us as a parish! Our journey begins October 22nd and ends on November 23rd, which is the Feast of Christ the King.
Here are the options for participating in the consecration:
• Make a commitment to do the Eucharistic Consecration as an individual, with a spouse, as a family or with a friend.
• Organize a small group among your fellow parishioners. Designate a facilitator and let us know who that is so we can communicate and distribute materials.
• Sign up for a small group below or at the information desk in church.

SCRIP

SCRIP is a fundraising program to benefit St. Bridget Church and School while shopping and is celebrating more than 30 years in the parish. Parish and school families purchase SCRIP gift cards at face value. St. Bridget purchases gift cards from local vendors and a national fundraising company at a discounted value and credits the difference, or “rebates”, to an approved St. Bridget account of the buyer’s choice. Just regularly using SCRIP for everyday purchases can easily generate funds to help with parish and school expenses. SCRIP isn’t just for gifts! Make it part of your family’s budget. Please consider joining or re-energizing your purchases today! Contact the Parish Office with any questions.
