Sacred Heart’s fifth Sunday second collection for St. Vincent de Paul/Parish Charities is next weekend. Your assistance with this worthwhile cause allows the society and the parish to help the poor and those who have temporarily fallen upon hard times. Thank you for your generosity.

The Legion of Mary is inviting everyone to attend a day of recollection Saturday, August 20th. The theme is “Spiritual Growth to Jesus Through Mary Our Mother”, the keynote speaker Fr. Bill Mason, OMI. The day will begin at 8:30a.m. with Mass followed by a light breakfast.

Please take an opportunity to read the June 27th publication of the Catholic Voice. In it there is a wonderful article written by Sacred Heart's own Ms. Carrie McClish! If you were not able to be in attendance at the anniversary Mass this is a great way to get a sense of what the celebration was like.
