Millions of mothers have watched their children abandon their Catholic faith in a chaotic, stressful and struggling world.

Join with other Catholic women who are being called by the Holy Spirit to imitate St. Monica as they attend this prayer ministry in their parishes.

Like St. Monica, we pray for our children to return to the practice of their Catholic faith, and for our children to always stay close to their faith. We are a group of mothers, young and old, who believe in the mother’s power of prayer.

Join other mothers this MONDAY, May 18 at 6PM at SACRED HEART CHURCH to pray.

We would like to recognize and congratulate our 4th graders who completed Altar Server training over the school year.

This weekend at the 10:30 mass, they graduated from being “shadow servers” and were vested as altar servers, vowing to serve Jesus wholeheartedly in their new roles.

Additionally, they were recognized today at our 2nd-4th grade award program for this exciting accomplishment!

Finishing touches! Today, landscaping is going in around the new water feature and grass is being sown around the newly paved parking lot. These are some of the last finishing touches that are making our Strengthen & Secure exterior enhancements look amazing!

We have also been finetuning the water flow and lights on the water feature. Make sure to check it out when you drive by the church!
