MEN’S PUBLIC REPARATION TO THE SACRED HEART
Saturday, June 28th, 2025 – 10:00 AM
The sidewalk in front of Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, Cincinnati, OH
Why We’re Gathering:
In response to the public glorification of sin in the form of the Cincinnati Pride Parade, Catholic men will once again gather on the steps of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains to make public reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Last year, over 150 men joined in prayerful witness, and this year promises to be an even greater act of public faith and devotion. Our goal is to glorify God, console the wounded Heart of Christ, and stand boldly as Catholic men in the public square.
