Prayers for Fr. Tom
|
|
Please continue to pray for Fr. Tom’s upcoming surgery. Hopefully it will stay on schedule for April 6.
Also pray that Fr. Tom’s car is found. His car was stolen Wednesday from the car repair shop. In addition, Fr. Tom found out his bank account was hacked into and a large amount was taken. He is NOT looking for anything but your prayers. Thank you!

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
|
 Sacred Heart has the ability for 24/7 Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel. “The only begotten Son of God is to be adored in the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist . . . including external worship. . . The Sacrament is to be publicly exposed for the people’s adoration.” (The History of Eucharistic Adoration by John A. Hardon, 1997.) We have a monstrance that allows us to expose and repose the Eucharist by opening and closing the doors of the monstrance. This will allow for us to have 24 hour adoration without need to sign up for time slots. In these challenging times, it is the power of prayer that can comfort us when we spend intimate time with our Lord. If you would like the code to the chapel door please email Janice Teixeira at teixeira@cox.net or call the parish office at 619-224-2746. There must absolutely never be periods when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed and there is no one present. The Monstrance must be closed when leaving the chapel and no one else is present. A guest book for signing in and instructions for adoration can be found in the chapel beside the tabernacle.

Stations of the Cross Cancelled
|
|
Dear Sacred Heart Parishioners –
To comply with the current restrictions placed upon us and for the safety and welfare of everyone, we are canceling Stations of the Cross for Lent. We encourage everyone to still pray the Stations of the Cross at 6:00 PM on Friday in the comforts and safety of your own home. It is times like this that personal prayer time is critical for a fruitful prayer life! Remember, Jesus is waiting for you to visit Him in the chapel. May the blessings of God be upon you! Sincerely, The Sacred Heart Parish Staff |

Feast of St. Joseph this Thursday
|
|
This Thursday, March 19th is the Feast of St. Joseph, Patron Saint of the Universal Church.
I invite all parishioners, from your homes, at 7:00 pm to join me for a holy hour / half hour of prayer, thru the Intercession of this very holy, Powerful Saint who so gently cared for our heavenly Mother and Lord Jesus.
Let us pray for our Parish Community, our Country and our world during this challenging time. May we be united in this holy hour in silent prayer, a family Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet etc. with trust in our Loving God.
Especially keep our elderly neighbors in your prayers and those most vulnerable to this virus.
Fr. Tom
Pastor
