Last June Poland resounded with a Public Profession of Faith

June has passed, but the testimony of the Catholic Faith that we left on the streets of Polish cities still speaks to passers-by. It is thanks to the support of our generous donors that the Sacred Heart of Jesus was able to triumph publicly in places where it is often excluded.

June – the Month of the Sacred Heart (under Threat)

Although June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in our times there are increasingly bold attempts to take away this time-perod that belongs to Him. The media, institutions, and even the streets of our cities are increasingly becoming spaces for the intrusive promotion of sin and contempt for God's law.

We could not remain indifferent. That is why we launched a nationwide billboard campaign under the slogan:

‘June belongs to the Sacred Heart. Christ is King!’

Billboards throughout Poland – a Testimony of Faith

Thanks to donors and committed Catholics, we have been able to place billboards at strategic locations throughout the country – from Gdańsk to Kraków, from Szczecin to Białystok. Billboards with the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus are not just advertisements. They are a public profession of Faith. They are a spiritual response to organised profanity, which is increasingly taking to the streets.

Each billboard had a QR code, thanks to which every passer-by could order a free image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for their home or parish.

Shameless Theft in Warsaw

Not everyone liked our campaign. A shocking incident took place in the centre of Warsaw, at 45/49 Marszałkowska Street. A billboard with the image of the Sacred Heart was most likely stolen. When our volunteer arrived at the site to photograph the advertisement, he found only an empty City light frame. Despite a search, no trace of the dismantled poster was found.

Interestingly, the billboard was located near Plac Zbawiciela (Savior Square) – a space of special spiritual significance for Poland. It was there, before the Battle of Warsaw, that novenas were said for the homeland. Today, unfortunately, it has become a symbol of secularisation and aggressive ideologies.

Thanks to the quick response of our partner advertising company, the billboard was immediately reprinted and reinstalled. We will not be silenced.

Christ must be visible in public spaces.

Together we can do More

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the campaign was able to take place. But we still want more: more billboards, more places in public spaces, more testimonies! Every pound and every prayer brings us closer to our goal – that June throughout Europe should be a month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, not a month promoting pride and sin.

Get involved in Catholic Activism

June is behind us, but the fight for public space continues. Christ is King – and we want everyone to see it.
