SACRED HEART PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
Sacred Heart Parish is a family of believers rooted in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. We welcome all who wish to embrace Jesus Christ. We open our lives to the wisdom of the Holy Spirit that we may see all things in the light of Faith. We invite all on the journey to the Kingdom of God. Sacred Heart nourishes the parish family through the ministries of Evangelization, Education, Sacramental Worship and Christian Service. We offer our time, talents and treasure as stewards of God’s Church. We call on each other’s support as we build God’s Kingdom. With Our Lord’s help, we will live the Gospel values of Faith, Hope, Justice and Love.
