Sacred Heart Parish

Stay tuned for the 2nd weekend for the dates for the Sacred Heart Parish Synod for our parishoners.

The guide to support this was mailed to all parishoners by Father Tero with instructions and he asked for a response to the question - 

The Church's mission is to proclaim the Gospel, journey together and serve others.  How can the Church best live out this mission?

Hope to see you at Mass and in March.

The month of January is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus. After the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit, the angel Gabriel appeared to St. Joseph and told him that the Child’s name should be called Jesus, meaning “God Saves.” According to Jewish law, on the 8th day after his birth a male child was to be circumcised, receive his name, and become a full member of God’s covenant people. According to the old Roman liturgical calendar, the Feast of the Circumcision of Jesus was celebrated on January 1st, eight days after Christmas, the same day that He was given His sacred name. Currently we celebrate the Solemnity of the Mother of God on January 1st and honor the Holy Name of Jesus on January 3rd. For Catholics, Jesus’ sacred name is the object of a special devotion symbolized by the monogram “IHS,” (sometimes called a Christogram), which is the first three letters of the Greek spelling of His name.
