CHARLOTTE — On Aug. 6, more than 70 people attended the Vigil of the Two Hearts devotion at St. Patrick Cathedral. Recently ordained Father Juan Miguel Sanchez, parochial vicar at St. Matthew Parish in Charlotte, was the celebrant and offered his first Mass at the cathedral which commemorated the Feast of the Transfiguration.
After Mass, Deacon John Kopfle from St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Charlotte led a Holy Hour of Reparation.
The Vigil of the Two Hearts is offered each first Friday evening overnight through first Saturday morning at the cathedral to honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary devotions, while praying for the end of abortion, for families, and for the country’s conversion back to God.
