Chesterton Men of the Sacred Hearts Honor Society Is Launched!

By David Tay, Chesterton Men of the Sacred Hearts Mentor

Since the beginning of the school year, Oliver, Gabriel, Patrick, Stephen, Luis, John, and Peyton, students at Chesterton Academy and members of the Chesterton Men of the Sacred Hearts Honor Society, met on Tuesday afternoons for 45 minutes with David Tay, the Executive Director of the Men of the Sacred Hearts. They reviewed the history and the 12 Promises from Jesus to St. Mary Margaret, and also role played a home enthronement.

The young men were quite serious about their task at hand, and while at first somewhat “stiff,” they stayed the course and did a fine job at the second visit where the Enthronement Consecrations promises were made.

Peyton commented that he felt a close connection to the family as we prayed for them before each decade of the Holy Rosary. Each Chesterton student had had some classroom exposure to the important action of praying a personal intention for each family member before each decade.

Patrick made the observation that he entered into a “deeper sense of community among my fellow classmates.” As the Chesterton classmates worked together conducting the Home Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in their first home, you could see and feel their bonding as they helped each other over some rough spots.

The plan is to work through the summer of 2021 visiting the students’ and faculty’s homes to Enthrone Jesus for the family.

Luis made the comment, “I was very content with the fact that everyone there was in unity with prayer, and I bet our Blessed Mother was smiling down upon us!”

I’m with Luis: Our Mother and Her Son were surely happy to see the focus and serious intent played out as the Chesterton Men of the Sacred Hearts Honor Society launched successfully in their first year of opening in Clinton Township.

The future calls for these leaders to now take the new incoming students of Chesterton Academy of Our Lady of Guadalupe under their mentorship and show them how to conduct a home Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
