Feast of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-90) is October 16 (in Canada: October 20). She was a French Visitation nun and mystic who promoted devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She is the patron saint of Devotees of the Sacred Heart, those who have lost a parent at a young age, and people suffering from polio. The Feast of the Sacred Heart is celebrated on the third Friday after Pentecost, focusing on Jesus's heart as a symbol of his divine love and physical sacrifice. Margaret Mary Alacoque was canonized a Saint in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV. E317.
