We are blessed! Thank you for your prayers and support!

Sacred HEart Building Fund

The Sacred Heart Building fund has allowed our parish to undertake and complete dozens of projects over the years. Our needs and restoration efforts are changing every day so if you would like to help just ask what projects need funding. Some examples include: several rubber roof replacements, air conditioning system, stained glass windows, and more!

Charitable Gifts and Bequests

Our weekly offering collection maintains most of our parish operating expenses. However, planned gifts have allowed us to undertake restoration projects such as framing antique rosary canvases, installing granite and marble rosary monuments for the cloister, and restoring a marble statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Planned gifts have had the greatest financial impact for our parish. Whether you structure planned giving during your life or as a part of your estate, Sacred Heart Church will benefit greatly from this type of support. Below are some examples of how you could help.
