We are thankful for you and we miss you. With Thanksgiving, Sacred Heart staff delivered over 100 yard signs to parishioners this week. Each delivery included a special prayer for the residence. We delivered them to our homebound, our prayer chain list, our lonely, our vulnerable and many more! We want you to have one, too! Pick up a yard sign and a prayer card after all Masses this weekend and be assured of our prayers for you! Display your Sacred Heart yard sign proudly in your yard and enjoy the blessings that flow from being part of the Sacred Heart community! You may also pick up a sign in the church office while supplies last.

Estimada familia de la parroquia de Sacred Heart: el obispo Joensen pidió que compartamos su carta a continuación con usted con respecto al requisito de máscaras en todas las misas con efecto inmediato. Tenga en cuenta que la salud y la seguridad de todos en nuestra comunidad es nuestra prioridad. Al usar máscaras y seguir las pautas recomendadas, podemos mantener nuestras puertas abiertas, lo que nos permite reunirnos para la Misa y recibir la Sagrada Eucaristía. Por favor, mantenga la salud y seguridad de todos nuestros hermanos y hermanas en sus oraciones.

Please know that the health and safety of all in our community is our priority. By wearing masks and following recommended guidelines, we are able to keep our doors open allowing us to gather for Mass and receive the Holy Eucharist.

At Sacred Heart, we are taking all of the recommended steps to keep you safe! Volunteers and ushers wear masks, the church is cleaned after all Masses, seating for parishioners socially-distanced throughout the church, mask wearing highly encouraged at all times on the Sacred Heart campus, extra Masses have been added to accommodate more parishioners. We understand that anyone who is vulnerable, elderly or lives with someone who is at-risk should continue to stay home. We will still be offering Masses live-streamed on our website at www.sacredheartwdm.org/mass. If you are well and getting back into community activities, however, we encourage you to come to Holy Communion and join us at Mass!

You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, your insights and your faith story in a warm accepting setting.
