Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Blue Book

ImageSharing in the Masses and Prayers of Retired MSC Missionaries

This perpetual enrolment was launched in 2006 to promote devotion to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. Those enrolled share for all time in the Masses and Prayers of our retired missionaries, and like the Golden Book enrolments can be made for a wide variety of occasions.

The list of those enrolled is bound annually in a special blue book that is retained in the Mission Support Centre.

Donations received go towards the care and welfare of our retired missionaries who devoted their lives to the missions.


You can request an enrolment in the Blue Book from this website by downloading the request form and returning it to us. Download the form here.
