Upcoming Faith Formation Events…

We invite everyone to join us as Sacred Heart of Jesus Church celebrates the Feast of Corpus Christi on June 2nd at 11:30 am.  Following the 11:30 am Mass join the parish for a procession of the Holy Eucharist around the property of our Church, Convent, and Academy grounds as we ask for our Lord’s blessing on the four corners of our Parish. The procession will conclude in the Sacred Heart Garden with Benediction.   We extend a special invitation to the children who received their First Holy Communion this year.  They are welcome to wear their First Communion clothes and walk together directly behind the Blessed Sacrament! 

Reminders…
