Welcome to Sacred Heart

LETTER TO THE FAITHFUL AND

UPDATE REGARDING COVID-19

Greetings Sacred Heart Parish Family,

This week Bishop Stephen Parkes published his thoughts on the guidelines of dispensation. (See link above) Please read through his letter and prayerfully consider your commitment to return to Mass attendance. Advent Season is upon us…what a perfect time to refresh and renew your faith. Despite the tribulations of COVID…we can, cautiously, come back together in celebration of the Eucharist.

May I also remind you starting this Sunday, the 1^st Sunday of Advent, we will bring Holy Communion to anyone who is viewing the 11:00 am Mass in their car in our parking lot. Please signal the Deacon that you wish to receive Holy Communion by blinking your headlights or waving from your car window and we will come to you. We will try this during each 11:00am Mass during Advent, and then review how many people are streaming our Mass and receiving Holy Communion in their car.

Thank you for your continued faithfulness to the Lord and Sacred Heart.

Father John Lyons

UPCOMING EVENTS

The Annual Men’s Retreat for SACRED HEART will be held 5 December, the first Saturday in Advent. The retreat is entitled The Catholic Man … we will explore the basics of our Catholic faith with reference to faithful masculinity and behavior / The GOAL is to grow male virtue and holiness by putting God first as husbands, fathers and sons. We will meet in the church OR Greco Hall next door to social distance based on the number of attendees…THAT’S 5 December starting at 9AM with coffee and Danish, and we’ll conclude around 1PM …bring your own lunch, and we will have softdrinks and water. If you’re ready to sign-up, I’ll be in back after Mass….If you prefer to attend via ZOOM, the easiest way is to send your contact information to Deacon Mario on the Parish website.

We will be conducting a Holy Water event for the Parish the first Sunday of Advent, November 29^th . We are offering a free Holy Water bottle for your use at home for blessings and anointing of family, home, and article to foster and enrich faith practices at your home. We will distribute the bottles empty the weekend before first Sunday of Advent… after Mass – ONE BOTTLE PER FAMILY, PLEASE – you bring them back the following weekend, the first Sunday of Advent filled with water and the blessing of the water will be conducted at Mass here in Church. For those unable to pick up a bottle as described, you can pick one up in a “drive-by” method like we did the Palms for Palm Sunday last spring … drive by after the 11AM Mass and we’ll hand you one.
