Please make plans to join us for a parish mission given by Father Bill Rhinehart November 6, 7 and 8 at 6:30 p.m. each evening. (Please take note there will be no 9:00 a.m. Masses those three mornings).

Please invite and encourage your friends, especially those who are "lukewarm" or not practicing their Catholic Faith to come. A collection will be taken on the last night of the mission to support the missionary efforts of the Vincentian priests. Father Rhinehart will be available for individual reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation each night of the mission from 5:15 - 6: 15 p.m. Also, we will have an ice cream reception after Mass on Monday, the Sacrament of Anointing after Mass on Tuesday, and a final reception after Mass on Wednesday with food and drink.
Come be renewed in your appreciation of the Eucharist and grow even closer to the Lord. Anyone who might need a ride to the mission, call Cathy at 922-2062, extension 17, or sign-up in the narthex to either requst or offer a ride.

The fact is: Families find themselves buying cheaper and less nutritious food, or cutting meals out of their diet, just to make ends meet. Increasing all the time, this pattern leads to chronic malnutrition, affecting children and families in profoundly destructive ways.With your help, Sacred Heart of Jesus can help these local families through our Food Baket Program. Any donation in the second collection at the Masses this weekend, October 28/29, will be channeled to this program to provide food for families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and hopefully at other times throughout the year. Checks should be made payable to Sacred Heart with "Food Basket Fund" in the reference line.
