Sacred Heart Church – Fun and Faith

HEROES FOR CHRIST

We are having Fun and Faith Vacation Bible School online this year and its FREE! Our theme is all about the saints teaching us to be Heroes for Christ. I wrote this program in hopes to give kids hope and inspiration during these trying times. The program will be June 29-July 2. We will start at 9 am and end at 11 am. We will start the day with a 30 minute zoom call with an introduction to the lesson of the day. We will also do a skit and have live music during the call to bring the lesson to life. From 9:30 am- 10:30 am we will have a EWTN saint video for the kids to watch about the saint of the day. The video will be 20-25 minutes. In the extra time for this hour they can do saint coloring sheets or fun worksheets that we will provide. We also hope in that hour they get a snack and get time to move around. At 10:30 am we will have a zoom call in which go over the video and teach them how to do the craft of the day. We will have a supply pick up day the week before Vacation Bible School. We will also provide links to the zoom call and YouTube videos the week before Vacation Bible School. We hope that you can join us for this unique Vacation Bible School experience!

Here is the link to sign up.

Sixth Sunday of Easter
Dear Fellow Parishioners,

The lyrics for this week’s hymns can be found in this attachment. John found another song I don’t know, “Join in the Dance” by Dan Schutte. If you don’t know it either, you can find it on YouTube at this link https://youtu.be/ZqL-pybIcms

The communion song, “Hallelujah Is Our Song,” was new to us last year but you might not know it, either. Here’s a link for it: https://youtu.be/JRaTXP7Ltyo

I hope you all find yourselves well and not going too stir crazy as our stay at home order continues on. I have another two songs for you. The first one you know, but this is a really cool rendition.

“In Christ Alone” A Cappella https://youtu.be/rjiiF83q7G0

The second one includes the words “Gathered at table, gathered in love.” I hope that will be true of us in the not too distant future, gathered again to share the Eucharist.

“In Remembrance of You” https://youtu.be/MdysCsomg_o

God bless you and keep you safe,

Janis Cantú

Fifth Sunday of Easter, May Crowning of Mary and  Mother’s Day Music and Mass Links

Dear Fellow Parishioners.

Happy Mother’s Day! I couldn’t decide whether to provide you a link for Shubert’s Ave Maria or Gounod’s Ave Maria to honor the Virgin Mary, our heavenly mother, as well as the mothers of our parish, so I’m providing links for both! I hope all of you who are mothers, and those who are celebrating with them, have a fabulous day!

Schubert’s Ave Maria sung by Mirusia
Gounod’s Ave Maria sung by Kathleen Battle

You can find the lyrics for this Sunday’s music in this attachment. This week John has another song I didn’t know, so just in case you don’t know it either, here is a link to give it a listen: “Come to Me and Drink” https://youtu.be/qAfTt2pN8Aw

Once again, Happy Mother’s Day. May God bless you all and keep you safe,

Father Tom is out of the Hospital

Fr. Tom was discharged from the hospital yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. He is recuperating at his sister Mary Ellen’s house in Coronado.

Hmmm, not a bad place to recover… They are pleased at how well he is doing. The doctor said he will definitely needs to take the full 6 to 8 weeks or so to recover, but he is off to a good start. They are hoping that there will be no further repairs needed.

Fr. Tom took a five minute walk today. He is moving very slowly, and in a lot of pain, but he is at least moving.

Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
