SCHEDULES AND EVENTS

Lent
Lent will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 17th this year.  Mass will be celebrated at 12 noon and 7 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church.  Ashes will be distributed during the liturgy.  This is an annual period of forty days, which is set aside for penance, fasting, and almsgiving in preparation for the coming celebration of Easter.  It is modeled in part on the forty days that Jesus spent in the desert prior to beginning his public ministry.  The penance, fasting, and almsgiving are meant to help lead the believer to ongoing conversion and a deeper faith in the Lord who redeemed us. 
Meager Meal
As the season of Lent approaches, the Sacred Heart Women’s Society would like to invite you to attend this year’s Meager Meal.  A Meager Meal…what’s that?  It’s a sacrificial meal of meatless soup and bread.  It’s a meal that can add to your spiritual experience of the day.  We all know and understand that Lent is a time of sacrifice. It’s a time to remind us of our need for God’s forgiveness and the incredible gift of His Son.  Please consider beginning your journey of renewal by sharing a Meager Meal with your Parish family on Ash Wednesday, Feb.17th  from 5:30 until 6:30 pm at the parish center. Mass and distribution of ashes will follow at 7 pm.
Stations of the Cross
will be prayed Fridays of Lent at 7 p.m.
beginning Friday, February 19th.
Ash Wednesday, February 17th
Ashes will be distributed at Sacred Heart Church during the celebration of the Mass at 12 noon
