Guided by the Spirit of God, the Roman Catholic parish family of Sacred Heart of Jesus celebrates a living faith in Jesus Christ.  As a people of God we are committed to worship in the Eucharist, to prayer and to an awareness of the needs of local and global communities as the gospel message instructs us.  We direct our efforts to promote excellence in the Catholic tradition of education at all levels.  We are diligent and responsible in maintaining sound financial and physical resources to meet current and future obligations.  We strive to see the face of Jesus Christ in every person and to utilize the diversity of gifts present in our parish through collaborative ministries and apostolates

When the blast of winter sighs its last gasp this rank amateur gardener goes into high gear to welcome a new growing season. Seeing perennials return to bloom, trees sprouting renewed growth and my innate desire to try new things with different plants and designs rejuvenate this winter-weary soul. Time, hard work and expense bring satisfying and expected results. Thoughtful planning allows early spring flowers to become late spring additions to our gardens, followed by summer and heat tolerant plants that promise a richly hued display without interruption. Then it is on to the herb and vegetable garden, meant to satisfy the senses and the palate. What could possibly go wrong? Such attention is practically foolproof. But it did happen. A drought struck. Initially it was not too severe. A little extra work was needed. But as the lack of rain began taking its toll on the gardens and water bans were issued and rigorously enforced my idyllic picture of these gardens was growing dim. I was disappointed and frustrated and welling up inside me was the self-righteous attitude of Job, accusing God of not caring about me or what I worked so long and hard to achieve, notwithstanding the many farmers and gardeners affected far more than me. What givesGod? God sent the rain, reminding me that God has Leviathan tethered. God sent the rain to assure us that dry, withered lives can and will be restored and renewed. God sent the rain to prove that God's loving care is always with us, even in our darkest moments. Once again it is a spiritual reminder to grow in deeper trust of God who never loses sight of us!

Parent’s Night Out provides a safe and fun environment for children ages 4+ while their parents enjoy a night to themselves. There are many different activities and games as well as toys for the children to use. When the weather allows, the children also have time to play outside. Dinner is served and a movie is also shown at each event.

The Evangelization team is providing two wonderful Catholic CDs at the CD stand in the front of the church for your Lenten meditation. First, a CD entitled “The Healing Power of Confession” by Scott Hahn. Second, a CD entitled “The Significance of Holy Saturday and Applying it to Your Life” by Fr. John Corapi. Donations are welcome, but optional.

Our goal is to educate students in a loving, caring and supportive environment where God’s love is prevalent. Class sizes are small and discipline is consistent, loving and Christian. Students are challenged to make good choices and to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

Prayer is an integral part of the development of each school member. We begin each school day with prayer and end with a blessing. Faculty, staff, students and families come together to celebrate Mass on First Fridays, Holy Days of Obligation, and at other times throughout the year.
