Do you love Jesus? Do you love learning about your Catholic Faith? Maybe you could share your love for Jesus and more about your faith as you learn! Sacred Heart Parish's religious education program is in need of multiple religious education teachers for this fall. Please prayerfully consider and then let us know you said yes! Contact Basil Knebel, our Director of Religious Education!

P.S. you're never too old to share the faith- even if your children are grown!

P.P.S.- If you're thinking, "I'm not qualified." Remember that Jesus qualifies the called, he does not call only the qualified!
