Sacred Heart Catholic Church

Value this time of crisis - our slowing down, our being with the family and taking care of each other, our prayers. Our sitting quietly and listen to God's voice and why we are here in this earth. Read the Bible. Say the Divine Office. Make use of this time to read a spiritual book or life of a saint. Clean our space. Say the Rosary. Do your Stations of Cross at home. 

Know that the office will remain open during business days as usual. We can also talk over the phone as a preference at this time. 

Know that the church remains open as usual. Stop by the church and visit. Please observe the social distancing and the CDC guidelines.

Know that confession and anointing of the sick are available. Call the office to let us know.

If you know somebody, especially elderly or home bound, who needs help to get the basic needs in life, call the office and we will run the errands for you. 

Please continue to support our parish financially by your tithing and offerings. You can drop your offering donation at the church's foyer in the collection box, leave it in the office or mail it in. Thank you four continued support and generosity.
