Being raised in the Catholic tradition, we were taught to believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. The Eucharist is considered both a miracle and mystery of the Catholic Faith. Unfortunately, only 30% of Catholics in the United States believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. The other 70% believe it is just a symbol. Please watch this 15 minute film and ask yourself - What do you believe? https://youtu.be/VS3CYsDHvGU?si=OU4js3uCBOihBc_8 There is also a great book by Matthew Kelly, 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory, which is an easy practical way to dive into the Catholic Faith and its teachings, particularly as it pertains to the Eucharist. You may find a free copy of this book in the vestibule. https://www.dynamiccatholic.com/33-days-to-eucharistic-glory/33EG.html?srsltid=AfmBOoopVuF5bazr9LmvLiKn76stc3I5dGN5KkWJW6gtkk-IzdO3rnPy

The last Friday this month, June 27th, is the actual Feast Day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is the patronage and heart (no pun intended) of our parish community. Please join us that evening beginning at 5:30pm for Holy Hour Adoration, with Reconciliation available, followed by Mass at 6:30pm. Let us celebrate together what makes us Catholic and what makes us members of the Sacred Heart Parish family.
