Help us give to children in need from our area this Christmas!

Our annual Giving Tree gift drive is a little different this year; we have all “tags” on SignUpGenius, and you sign up for the gift(s) you want to buy.

All gifts should be wrapped, and a tag attached with the child’s name and family identifier, which is listed on SignUpGenius just before each child’s name.

CLICK THIS LINK TO SIGN UP FOR THE GIVING TREE

Contact the parish office with any questions.

Gifts are due back to the church by December 13, 2020. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Sacred Heart is resuming the COVID-19 prayer warrior ministry to pray for our local healthcare workers and patients at CGH Medical Center. Prayer warriors sign up for a 15 minute prayer slot, parking in a specific location at CGH and putting a sign and/or battery operated candle on their dash so those inside CGH can see that we are holding them in prayer. If you are interested, see the links below:

Father Bruce talked recently about The Surrender Novena, given by Jesus to Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo. An insert with this novena can be found here. You are invited to say this very timely novena with us!

If you would like to get a professionally printed copy of this novena, it can be found at this link at fullofgraceusa.com.

Please watch as Father Bruce presents talks on The Scourging, The Crowning of Thorns, and the Carrying of the Cross; all based on the meditations of St. Bridget of Sweden. You can find these videos on our YouTube channel by clicking on these links:
