Welcome
Striving to be a grateful parish following Christ by loving God, and loving our neighbors as ourselves through our words, deeds, and thoughts.
Please disregard any requests for money and/or gift cards for Fr. Bernard. This is a scam!
"Without the Spirit, our Christian life unravels, lacking the love that brings everything together.
Without the Spirit, Jesus remains a personage from the past; with the Spirit, he is a person alive in our own time.
Without the Spirit, Scripture is a dead letter; with the Spirit it is a word of life.
A Christianity without the Spirit is joyless moralism; with the Spirit, it is life.”
― Pope John Paul II

Thanks For Sacred Heart Donations / Gifts
Last week we thanked those people who have given of their time and energies to benefit the church community. This week we wish to thank all of the individuals who over the years have donated materials and funds for projects…like the donation of security equipment, sacred music, books, missals, catholic education pamphlets, health supplies, machines, tools and flowers to name a few. Much of the beauty we see in the church consists of parishioner donations like the Virgin Of Guadalupe image or materials for handmade items…like the tabernacle altar. Thank you!

Beware of Scam Regarding Bishop Vasa's Email
To add to the already numerous crosses our dear bishop has been carrying there has been a hacking of his email account. If you receive any emails or communications involving Walmart and /or requests for money. This is not coming from Bishop Vasa! Please keep him in your prayers.

Mass Online
In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, we have created a YouTube Channel for our local Catholic community. We recorded Fathers Bernard D'Sa and Rowell Gumalay saying Mass today so those who are sheltering in place and unable to attend services would have access to Mass with their local priests. The video was shot in high definition. You can view it here or on any smart device (TV, phone, tablet or computer) that has the YouTube app. Be sure to turn on the HD setting to get the best picture and sound. You should also have the ability to make the video full screen. (Note: higher resolutions may not be available for the first several hours after uploading)
Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get notification of new posts. Don't forget to turn on the sound and adjust the video quality to your needs. You can click here or on the graphic below to go to our channel.

Phone Apps for Catholics
We have gotten some questions about finding high quality apps that support us in our practice of the Catholic faith. After much research, we are recommending that people visit CatholicApps.com
CatholicApps.com was created in response to the call to evangelization from Saint John Paul II, and then continued on through Pope Benedict, and of course the call for deeper evangelization from Pope Francis
