ROAD TO RENEWAL

​This week in the mail every registered parishioner will be receiving a copy of the Pastoral Letter prepared by our Diocesan Apostolic Administrator, Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger.  The purpose of the Pastoral Letter is to provide the spiritual foundation for our Diocesan Road to Renewal Initiative.  Everyone is strongly encouraged to read the Pastoral Letter and to reflect upon it as we go forward in the pastoral renewal of our diocesan family. Copies of the letter may also be obtained here in our parish church. Thank you!

Here is some great insight from a couple of our 5th grade Faith Formation students.
Their assignment was to write a commercial for your parish!

“Oh!  I didn’t see you there!
Well, while you are here why don’t you join a church like Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.  There are so many to choose from and it really helps our way of life.  We are kinder, nicer and we help others.  In my opinion, it is a great idea to join a church.  Thank you!  Bye.”
 
“Join our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish.
Our parish is very friendly and makes everyone feel welcome.  They have lots of Masses you can go to.  They even have a kids Mass you can check out.  The kids learn about all the Gospel readings.  Being a member of my parish makes me feel special and close to God.  They have religion classes for children to attend.  The grade levels are 1-11th grade.  You can attend them 1 time a week.”
