In Loving Memory
Please keep the family of Alice Arnold in your prayers, as she passed away on August 13, 2019.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Sanctuary Lamp Memorials The sanctuary lamp over the tabernacle is sponsored each week either in memory of, or for the living intentions of the loved ones of our parishioners. If you would like to sponsor a week, please contact the parish office. Several weeks are still open for 2019 and 2020. The suggested donation is $10.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
Sacred Heart warmly welcomes those seeking to learn more about the Catholic Church! We provide education and spiritual formation through a dynamic video series and weekly guest presenters in a casual small group setting.

Are you an adult, teen or young adult who has not been baptized?
Were you baptized Catholic as a child but have not received any other sacraments?
Were you baptized in another religion but now desire to become a Roman Catholic?
Are you already Catholic, but feel like you'd like to know more about the faith?

That Man Is You Men’s Group
That Man is You (TMIY) is our men’s group that meets weekly at Sacred Heart. This is a national program that we began 2 years ago. The theme for this year is “Revelation of the Father”. Taking a hard look at the realities of our modern culture, Revelation of the Father seeks to transform men in their relationship with their children & grandchildren. It sets forth the vision of a child capable of making moral decisions in light of significant pressure and integrates the 7 Steps with Don Bosco’s preventive method to help parents develop a “parenting plan of life.”
TMIY meets on Thursday mornings at 6:00am - 7:30am and includes a light breakfast. The new session begins Thursday, September 12th, 2019.
Please contact Kevin Nestor with any questions: 815-499-8002 or [email protected]
