For this Sacred Heart Friday post I did a search for “October 20 and the Sacred Heart,” and not expecting to find much, perhaps a feast day for a saint dedicated to it. I didn’t, but the first hit was this:

Feast of Mater Admirabilis – Academy Of The Sacred Heart (LA):

On October 20 every year (unless a weekend), the Sacred Heart community celebrated the Feast of Mater Admirabilis, which translates to “Mother Most Admirable” and is the title of a representation of Our Lady as a young girl wearing pink. Each year, a senior, chosen by her classmates, represents Mary in a tableau at the traditional Mater Liturgy.

The Academy of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic, Independent All-Girls school Grades 1 – 12 in New Orleans, Louisiana. They have roots dating back to post-Revolutionary France and count as their founders St. Rose Philippine Duchesne and St. Madeleine Sophie Barat.

I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!

My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
