Special Ukraine Collection Sunday

Mar 04 2022

Announcements
Special Collection for Ukraine Crisis

Bishop McElroy and all the bishops of the United States are inviting all the faithful to contribute to a fund that will provide assistance to the victims of war in Ukraine. Our contributions, which are an expression of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, will assist the Church’s pastoral response and provide resources for humanitarian assistance.

Sacred Heart Church of OB will join with every parish community in the United States and designate a special collection for the people of the Ukraine this weekend, March 5 and 6. Please use the special envelopes marked “2022 Ukraine Crisis” in the bulletin and return them next week. Please make checks payable to “Sacred Heart Church.”

Please continue to pray for the Ukrainian people.

Pray that all nations may repent for aggression and violence that have brought pain and suffering to innocent people and work toward a just and lasting peace to the benefit of all, especially the Ukrainian people during this time, let us pray to the Lord.

Parish Synod

Feb 28 2022

Events
Sacred Heart Synod

Blessings –

“Synod” is defined as an assembly of the clergy and sometimes also the laity in a diocese or other division of a particular Church… That is, until now.

Pope Francis has directed the Church to assemble her people for a global synod. With joy we unite with Catholics worldwide in discerning our path towards becoming a “synodal” Church, one that journeys with its faithful, listens to their concerns, and promotes their participation into the fullness of the Church.

Our Parish will facilitate three synodal gatherings in March and we ask you to participate in one of the sessions.

The dates are:

  • Tuesday, March 15 from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
  • Saturday, March 19, 9:00 a.m. – noon,
    and 12:30 – 3:30 p.m.

Reserve your time through this link.

For further information on the Synod and its purpose, please visit the Diocese website.

 

 

As we are preparing for our participation in the Church’s historic Synod, we also need facilitators and scribes. We will need approximately 10 facilitators and 10 scribes (for high school students who serve as scribes and in need of service hours, I give double). Facilitators and scribes will not have to serve all three sessions.

We will have a training session this Thursday, March 3 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall.

For information on being a facilitator or scribe there is info on the Diocese website here.

If you are interested assisting as a facilitator or scribe for the Synod, please contact me at Jackhamlin55@gmail.com.

Thank you for time!

In Peace

Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Our Fall Bible Series starts March 2nd, 2022!

We will be using the Ascension Press Series “Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life.” This 10-week study goes over Jesus’ life. To take this class you will need to pay and create an account with Ascension Press with the link below. For just $29.95, plus shipping, you will get access to the series videos for a year, a study book, a timeline chart of Jesus’ life, a mini book and an online workbook. You will have homework each week to read the assigned readings in the Bible and watch a 30 minute video. On Wednesdays we will discuss what we have learned and keep each other accountable for the readings!

Ascension Press Description of the Study:
“The marvelous treasures of the Catholic Faith—the Eucharist, Mary, the saints, and the Creed—are all centered on a single figure: Jesus Christ. Jesus is more than a historical or theological figure. He is our Savior, our Redeemer, our Lord, and our God. While many of us already know a lot about him, how well can we say we really know him? Filmed on location in the Holy Land, Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life is a new and fresh look at Jesus—who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, and what he did for our salvation. This encounter with Christ will inspire and empower you to center your entire life on him as you come to know and love him in an ever-deeper and more intimate way.”
