Sacred Heart in Prescott is a Jubilee Year Pilgrimage Parish as designated by Bishop John Dolan. On January 5, Bishop Dolan celebrated a beautiful Jubilee Mass to start off the Jubilee Year 2025. We wish to thank all who participated, especially all of our staff and volunteers from various ministries that helped make the event so beautiful. You can also watch the Jubilee Mass on this website through the YouTube connection on the main page. Below are some photos of the event. We hope you will come to visit our parish throughout the year to visit the peace pole and take a photo of the QR code to form the beautiful picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe. All glory to God!
On November 2 and 3, Sacred Heart hosted a Light of the World retreat which was very well-attended.
This retreat offers a combination of presentations about the faith, witness testimony, song, small group meetings and much more. The retreat was extremely successful and below are photos of the whole group as well as the retreat team. Thank you to all who attended.

The month of October is Respect Life Month. The Parish will be publishing several bulletin articles and providing prayer cards for parishioners. Here is a prayer for life from the USCCB :
“O Jesus, you came that we might have life-and have it in abundance. Together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, you form us in our mothers’ wombs and call us to love you for eternity.
As your most precious gift of human life is attacked, draw us ever closer to your Real Presence in the Eucharist. Dispel the darkness of the culture of death , for you are the light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it.
By the power of your Eucharistic Presence, help us to defend the life of every human person at every stage. Transform our hearts to protect and cherish all whose lives are most vulnerable.
For you are God forever and ever. Amen”
