It’s a Jesuit devotion. It’s extremely popular - I know it’s my favorite. It’s a way of focusing on Christ’s love for us. As for a priest being involved… well, sure. But, you don’t have to have a priest involved. It can be a focus of your private prayer and devotion.

Here’s a link to wikipedia:

If this is the same thing as the “Enthronement of the Sacred Heart”, then a priest is necessary to bless the image of the Sacred Heart, but not for anything else. There’s is a part for him to play if he’s present, but the part can be done by the father or head of the household in the absence of a priest.

The ceremony, etc., is near the bottom of that page.
 
I was inducted into the Confraternity of the Sacred Heart in 1964. This is the devotion of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque which was fostered by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart:

My parish still publishes the intentions of the Apostleship of Prayer and observes the nine First Fridays, etc.
 
Gracia et Pax Vobiscum,

Thanks everyone for the very fine links and info! God Bless you all!
