Parish Mission Statement
We, the Sacred Heart Parish Community, knowing we are sustained by the Eucharist, dedicate ourselves to:
Forming a prayerful and worshiping community Educating all in Christ’s wisdom formed
in and through the Gospel + Living our faith in today’s society
We strive to: Invite, welcome and serve all through our stewardship
Unite our community through acceptance of one another + Comfort through word and deed
2
Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord,
Welcome to Sacred Heart Church!
It is a blessing to have you join our
worshiping community as we celebrate
our Eucharistic Liturgy for
“The
Commemoration of All the Faithful
Departed,” commonly known as All Souls Day.
Your presence and prayerful participation enrich
our Liturgy. May the Risen Lord enlighten your
mind through the Word proclaimed and nourish
your faith in the Eucharist we share.
Hope you remembered to turn your clocks
back as Daylight Savings Time ends this
weekend!
In Celtic spirituality there is the thought that in
birth we leave the “Heart of God” on a journey
back to the “Heart of God” when we die. Our
journey in life touches many lives. Hopefully,
during our lives we assist each other on our
journey back to the “Heart of God.” After the
death of a loved one, we, the living, continue to
help them on their journey back to God through
our prayers. We, as Church, traditionally pray
for our deceased loved ones on All Souls Day
and throughout the month of November. We call
to mind those we mourn. We lift them up to God
in prayer. This is what all of us are invited to do
today, during this Eucharistic Liturgy. Once
again, the “Wall of Remembrance,” around our
Church, names those buried from Sacred Heart
Church since 1927. Today, a new frame is
added, remembering those who died this past
year. Today and throughout November, may we
continue to express our love for those who have
died by lifting them up in prayer. May their souls
and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in
peace.
On Sunday, at 3:00pm, our Parish will host
the St. Thomas More Annual Memorial Mass.
Welcome Golden Bears!!
Be well,
God bless,
Fr. McKee
