The Annual Parish Mass of Remembrance at which we acknowledge and pray for family members of Sacred Heart who have died this year will take place on Thursday, December 19, at 9:00 a.m. If you have a relative who died anywhere this past year, we ask that you put their name and your name on a sign-up sheet in the Narthex and indicate whether you will be able to attend the Mass and the reception that will follow in the Lower Hall. If you are able to come, a candle will be available for you to light and put on a table up front which signifies your loved one and the prayers we offer for them at this Mass, as well as prayers for the bereaved. Parishioners, come join us and support those who have lost loved ones this year.

You may begin to feel your baby move, since he or she is developing muscles and exercising them. This first movement is called quickening. Hair begins to grow on baby's head. Your baby's shoulders, back, and temples are covered by a soft fine hair called lanugo. This hair protects your baby and is usually shed at the end of the baby's first week of life. The baby's skin is covered with a whitish coating called vernix caseosa. This "cheesy" substance is thought to protect baby's skin from the long exposure to the amniotic fluid. This coating is shed just before birth. By the end of the fifth month, your baby is about 10 inches long and weighs from 1/2 to 1 pound.
