On-line giving match program – THANK YOU

As you recall, a generous donor from the Diocese chose several parishes, including Sacred Heart, to receive a matching contribution for new and increased on-line giving. The match period is June 1- August 31 and applies to anyone who switches to on-line giving or who increases current on-line giving. The maximum for Sacred Heart is $43,230. We are so grateful for your generosity! After the first 2 months of the match period, we have achieved 76% of our goal! This includes 13 new givers as well as 252 families who increased their on-line giving.

We are so very grateful for your generosity! All of the matching funds will go strictly to evangelization programs.

If you have not had a chance to be part of this yet, please prayerfully consider doing so before August 31. Every dollar counts. One-time on-line giving also counts toward the match.

May God continue to bless you abundantly for your unceasing generosity.

The only Mass celebrated for the Feast Day will be August 15 at 7AM. Please note that the 5PM Mass on August 15 observes the Vigil of the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Bishop Olmsted Message June 24, 2020 – Little Things Make a Difference

Little things can make a big difference. Servant of God Dorothy Day wrote, “Most of our life is unimportant, filled with trivial things from morning till night. But when it is transformed by love, it is of interest even to the angels.”

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been working diligently with our pastors and their volunteers and staff to promote a healthy, smart, and holy approach to caring for the spiritual and physical well-being of one another. Much of what we do are “little things” but they make a real difference.

‘Detalles pequeños’ que hacen una gran diferencia – Un mensaje del Obispo Olmsted

Los detalles pequeños pueden hacer una gran diferencia. Dorothy Day, una Servidora de Dios, escribió: “La mayor parte de nuestra vida carece de importancia, está llena de cosas triviales desde la mañana hasta la noche. Pero cuando la vida es transformada por el amor de Dios, reviste interés incluso para los ángeles”.

Desde que dio inicio la pandemia de COVID-19, hemos estado trabajando diligentemente con nuestros párrocos, los miembros de su personal y los voluntarios para promover un enfoque saludable, inteligente y santo para cuidar del bienestar espiritual y físico de cada uno. Mucho de lo que hacemos son “detalles pequeños” pero que hacen una gran diferencia.
