Juneteenth
Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, commemorates the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned of their freedom. This display features biographies of abolitionists, stories from the Underground Railroad, and books about Black history and social justice.
Saints of the Sacred Heart
In the Catholic tradition, June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Feast of the Sacred Heart is celebrated liturgically on the Friday after Corpus Christi Sunday. The profound devotion of the Sacred Heart initially began with Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in the 17th century and gained further support through the efforts of Sister Mary of the Divine Heart in the 19th century. This display includes books written by and about Catholic men and women who have fostered a deep spiritual devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
