An everlasting gift, the Golden Book of the Sacred Heart offers remembrance in the Masses and prayers of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart for all time.
What is the Golden Book of the Sacred Heart?
The Golden Book is a perpetual enrolment in the prayers of our MSC priests, and is a very thoughtful way to mark a special occasion, or to offer a gesture of comfort in troubled times. Each personalised prayer certificate is presented in a beautiful gold-embossed folder, and you can choose from a padded Balacron or parchment card covers.
What does perpetual enrolment involve?
Perpetual enrolment means that the person named in each Golden Book of the Sacred Heart will be remembered in the Masses and prayers of our MSC priests for all time. The names of those enrolled are recorded and bound each year in a specially designed Golden Book, which is kept in the prayer room at the MSC Missions Office in Cork. Every year, the Golden Book is placed on the altar of the Sacred Heart Church in Cork during the annual Novena to the Sacred Heart, and those enrolled are remembered specially during this time.
Can I enrol a friend or loved one in the Golden Book of the Sacred Heart for any occasion?
A Golden Book is a truly special way to let somebody know that you’re thinking of them. This is a thoughtful way to remember a friend, family member, or loved one who has passed away, offering the comfort of perpetual prayer to those who have experienced a loss.
However, Golden Book enrolments aren’t just given in remembrance – this is also a lovely way to mark special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations, exams, baptisms, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. The gift of a Golden Book can offer peace and solace to those going through difficult times, while it is also the perfect memento to celebrate life’s special occasions.
