The Eucharist is not a potion for power or a portal to the perfect life. It is, rather, a balm, a warm hug, an indescribable gift that compels us to, in turn, give to those around us.

Hurricane Beryl damaged one of the trees in the cemetery, breaking several limbs and leaving an unsightly mess. Gary Wolfer, head of the SHJ Disaster Relief team, was contacted and he reached out for help from two very experienced members, Drinnon Hand and Frank Klier. They worked for over three hours, which included Drinnon climbing up the tree in order to cut the broken limbs. The reworked tree is in the background. Thanks to these men for their hard work! Please consider Sacred Heart's cemetery as the final resting place for you and your family. The Memorial Garden and Columbaria are on church grounds and provide a beautiful, peaceful place to visit and pray.
