Stewardship Moment: “Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ But they were startled and frightened…”-Luke 24:36-37 Throughout the day we have many opportunities to “see the face of Jesus” in others and to “be the face of Jesus” to others. Do we take that opportunity to provide “peace” to those we encounter or are we afraid of what others will think of us and do nothing? Pray for the strength and courage to live a “God-centered” life and not a “self-centered” life.

Crowning of Mary/First Communicant Potluck: Due to scheduling conflicts for the Beckley family, we will be celebrating Wyatt’s First Eucharist on Sunday April 28th. After Mass, Wyatt and family will do a processional for the Crowning of Mary. Then we will go to the parish center for a potluck meal wishing him well as he will receive his First Eucharist and Confirmation on May 17th. Group 2 will be serving ham, buns, and beverages. A cake will be provided by the Beckley family for dessert. We ask attendees to bring their favorite dish to share. Come celebrate Wyatt and our Mother Mary! 

Sacred Heart Spring Dinner will be held Sunday, April 21st from 4:30-6:30 pm at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall. Serving turkey and all the trimmings.
