Holy Family Parish in Vancouver BC will be installing a hand-embroidered Sacred Heart onto the inner door of our parish Tabernacle. The Sacred Heart was made with leather covered with gold leaf, 2% gold metal threads, and silk threads. Also attached are garnets and freshwater pearls to signify the drops of blood and water which gushed forth from the Wound of His Sacred Heart, which was pierced on the cross.
Every time we open the tabernacle, His Sacred Heart will, in a sense, be opened, from which we will receive the Holy Eucharist. The image will be a reminder to every priest who celebrates Mass on our altar of the intimate connection between the Eucharist and Our Lord's Sacred Heart.
Many thanks to the parishioner who took the time to design and embroider it for us. May God reward you.
