We are looking for local crafters who would be interested in purchasing a space in our Parish Center for the day. We are also looking for volunteers to help organize, plan and work this event.

Bishop’s Appeal…has begun throughout the Diocese. This year, our assessment is: $53,795
The spiritual works of mercy are to:instruct the ignorant, counsel the doubtful, admonish sinners, all of which come under the auspice of faith formation, to bear wrongs patiently, to forgive all injuries, to comfort the sorrowful, and to pray for the living and the dead. The Corporal Works of Mercy:are to feed the hungry, quench the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit prisoners, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, and bury the dead. So you could say that, in general, the works of mercy involve providing the poor with material needs, providing pastoral care to the suffering, educating God’s people in the faith, and forgiving others as we have been forgiven in Christ Jesus. Although we have a responsibility as faithful Christian people to care for those in need around the world, I think it’s important for you to know how the Bishop’s Appeal cares for people right here in our own local communities. Hundreds of dedicated people…religious education teachers, Catholic school teachers, care providers, hospital chaplains, campus ministers, and the staff s of various offices minister to bring Christ’s word, healing presence and love to all with whom they interact.
You may make your gift by filling out the provided pledge envelope and dropping it in the collection basket or mailing it to us. You can make a pledge which is payable in eight monthly installments, or you can go online and make your gift at: Thank you for your support.
To date, Sacred Heart has received 83 gifts and pledges in the amount of: $23,072
This year our Annual Assessment is: $53,795
