Sacred Heart Parish is a Eucharistic Community which recognizes and values the dignity of each person by responding to the Gospel. We are called to Pray, Teach, and Serve.

Sacred Heart strives to meet the needs of the Catholic Community in the Sterling, Rock Falls, Dixon, and surrounding localities through prayer, fellowship, and varied and enriching ministries.
