The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe falls on the 3rd Sunday of Advent. Sacred Heart will hold a celebration on Sunday, December 12th! Beginning at 11:00 pm on Saturday, December 11th, we'll meet in the Parish Center to celebrate Mañanitas at midnight! On Sunday morning, we'll meet for the Procession 11 am leading into 11:30 am Mass. Following Mass, we'll hold our annual celebration with dancing and food in the school gym! All are encouraged to join in the celebration!

Starting with Thanksgiving through the final drop-off of donations by Sunday, Dec. 12, the Women’s Guild and St. Vincent de Paul Society hope the entire parish will join in making Christmas brighter for local nursing home residents and others who need essential items for daily living. Please take an ornament from the Jesse Tree in our church gathering space. Each ornament highlights a gift our potential recipients would like for Christmas. We also would like word scramble and Sudoku paperbacks, small-sized personal care items such as lotions, etc. to use as fillers. For all 250 requested gifts, please tie or tape the ornament onto your package. To assure accurate distribution, please do not wrap any of the items. The only exception is for those purchasing for a student (as noted on the ornament). For students, please put the item in an open gift bag, along with the ornament affixed to the bag.

Christmas Bake Sale: Seeking Santa’s Helpers Now For the Women’s Guild annual Christmas bake sale, we need donations of decorative tins, plates, platters, ribbons, cellophane gift bags, and/or zip lock bags of various sizes. Please drop these off anytime in November in the parish center kitchen with “Guild Bake Sale” noted on your bag/box of items. Of course, we also depend on many bakers to provide the festive, decorated cookies, bars, soup mixes, gluten-free or sugar-free treats, too. We welcome pre-orders of our small and large platters, which make marvelous gifts to teachers, employees, clients, and more. Pre-orders will allow you to breeze through our check-out process when we hold the bake sale on Sat. & Sun., Dec. 4 & 5. All proceeds benefit Sacred Heart’s ministries and community nonprofits through a grant application process.

Sacred Heart had nearly 150 volunteers working all day on Saturday, November 13th to lend a helping hand to friends and neighbors! Over 35 projects were completed!

As always, service hours are available and teens are welcome!

Our Lady of Guadalupe – This falls on the 3rd Sunday of Advent. It is required that the readings of the day be for the 3rd Sunday of Advent. Christmas Day – As you make plans for the holidays, keep this in mind: Christmas Day falls on a Saturday this year. As the solemn celebration of Jesus’ birth, this day remains a Holy Day of Obligation. Likewise, the Sunday obligation (for the Feast of the Holy Family) also remains in force. Thus, we will have 2 Mass obligations to fulfill between December 24 and December 26, one for Christmas and one for Sunday. Please note, one cannot “kill two birds with one stone.” We must go to two Masses, one for each obligation.

Thanksgiving Day Mass will be held at 9 am on Thursday, November 25th. (Please note: we will NOT have an 8 am Mass on Thanksgiving Day.

Saturday: 4:30 pm Sunday: 7:30 am, 9:30 am, 11:30 am, 1 pm (en español)
