Dear Friends, Visitors, and those thinking of becoming a vital part of Sacred Heart’s Parish Community:
We welcome you with open hearts and the gratitude for your having chosen to celebrate Mass with us! Perhaps you are wondering if you could make Sacred Heart your Parish home. We would love to have you! Perhaps you are wondering what you could do, what talent you could bring, how you could help us all grow within our Spiritual Community.
Perhaps you are thinking that you have nothing to offer. Nonsense! Can you say hello to those coming into Church (Greeter)? Do you have a special love for those in the Nursing Home (Nursing Home Ministry)? Do you have a heart for comforting those who have lost a loved one (Bereavement Ministry)? Do you have a love of music and singing (Music/Choir Ministry)? Do you have a love of prayer? Please pray for our parish as we reach out to others who want to have a home with Jesus!
We wish to encourage our community to be the face of Jesus to others. There are so many opportunities to serve and/or participate. Please see the following information about our ministries:
