The Gethsemane Institute: Founded June 2025
in honor of the Sacred Heart

What a providential time it is indeed – look at this Timeline!

1675

Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary (this apparition was during the octave of Corpus Christi: June 13-20 in 1675). This was the apparition in which Jesus expressed His desire for the establishment of the liturgical Feast of the Sacred Heart and greater devotion to all the requests of His Sacred Heart. 

2025…This is where YOU come in!

This is a Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of the Jubilee Anniversary effort to answer Christ’s request to console His Sacred Heart in Gethsemane!

St. Margaret Mary heard the call in 1673…
We picked up the mantle of love in 2023…
The Sacred Heard apparitions continued until June 1675…
will YOU please join us here in 2025, in this 3-year Jubilee?

The first initiative of the Gethsemane Institute is Catholic Holy Hour. Learn about and pray the at-home Catholic Holy Hour, consoling Christ of Gethsemane… and in so doing, find the deepest consolation of your life.

“Could you not watch one hour with me?”
— Matthew 26:40

Heart to Heart

We invite you to give to the Gethsemane Institute in honor of the month of the Sacred Heart… the month that recalls OUR devotion to Christ’s heart in Gethsemane… to please say “YES” to help bring Christ more souls to watch and pray with Him in the Garden, to keep Him company there. Here’s how you can help.

June 27th is the Feast of the Sacred Heart! With your tax-deductible donation of $27 or more, you’ll receive as our thank-you gift to you a link granting you access to all 33 episodes of the Consecration to the Sacred Heart.
