The mission of Sacred Heart Parish is to be the spiritual focal point for the Catholic Christian community in our portion of the Diocese of Des Moines. This community:
- Believes and proclaims that Jesus Christ is Lord;
- Calls its people to experience and put into practice the love of Jesus Christ;
- Draws its people into the social and spiritual life of the parish so that each has a sense of belonging;
- Seeks to help its members take on the "mind of Christ" through prayer, study and worship;
- Uses and returns the gifts and talents God has given;
- Is itself a sign calling its members to hear and respond in ministry to the spiritual and temporal needs of people within the parish and beyond.
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For He is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
~ Psalm 95:6,7
