On-Going Faith Formation
If you are interested in in-person Faith Formation meetings, our OCIA (formerly RCIA) group meets on Sundays from 8am to 10am in the Rectory Dining Room. They also attend mass together at 9am. Even if you are already a fully initiated Catholic, all are invited to take part in fellowship and discussion.
Our OCIA Instructors also lead the Bible Sharing or "Breaking Open the Word" from 10am to 10:45am. You are welcome to attend those as well!
We also have various faith fellowship opportunities that are announced throughout the year. Check our bulletin for more details!
Sacred Heart Bulletin
A resource that is often overlooked is our Bulletin.
The articles that are provided [either by outside sources, Father EJ, or any of our Seminarians] give insight to the weekly gospel message as well as nuggets of information that you may have yet to learn.
Please consider subscribing to our bulletin and having it sent to your email inbox.
We also include information in the email body that may not necessarily be in the bulletin.
Additionally, we send out any urgent/immediate notices to those who are subscribed.
Monetary Donations
Monetary Donations are always appreciated in the life of the Church. It is the main source of income that keeps our ministries and Church going to serve the greater Community.
If you noted that you are interested in receiving envelopes on your Registration Form, you should be receiving them within the next couple months. A set of envelopes gets sent out monthly to your listed address.
