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.

We were blessed with a very special Heritage Week! All of our many events went well. Thank you to all our parishioners for their support. Welcome to all new parishioners. Below are some photos of the New Parishioner Dinner, Silver Rose Ceremony (led by the Knights of Columbus) and the Heritage Festival itself.

Thank you to all staff and volunteers who helped make these events possible.
