Parish Mission Statement
We, the Sacred Heart Parish Community, knowing we are sustained by the Eucharist, dedicate ourselves to:
Forming a prayerful and worshiping community Educating all in Christ’s wisdom formed
in and through the Gospel + Living our faith in today’s society
We strive to: Invite, welcome and serve all through our stewardship
Unite our community through acceptance of one another + Comfort through word and deed

Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord,
Welcome!
I am grateful for your presence as
the
Sacred
Heart
worshiping
community gathers to celebrate our
Eucharistic Liturgy for the 19th
Sunday in Ordinary Time. You bless
us
through
your
prayerful
participation. May the Risen Lord enlighten
your mind in the Word proclaimed and nourish
your spirit through the Bread of Life we share.
Last Saturday, Sr. Julia Ann, I.H.M.,
celebrated her 50th anniversary as a Sister
Servant of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. As
is her style, the jubilee was a prayerful
celebration in thanks to God for her blessings
in religious life with mainly her family and
I.H.M. community. Sr. Julia Ann has taught
first grade in Sacred Heart School for the past
twelve years. She is a “master teacher” who
combines teaching, discipline and care in
preparing our first graders for their many years
in education. Our school and students have
been enriched by Sr. Julia Ann’s dedication to
the development of her students both
academically and spiritually. On behalf of our
parish community, I thank Sr. Julia Ann for her
twelve years of service and presence in our
Parish. As Sr. Julia Ann leaves for her new
assignment at St. Martin of Tours, I extend the
parish’s gratitude and prayerful best wishes.
May the Risen Lord guide and bless you with a
peaceful transition.
In today’s Gospel, the disciples become
fearful as their boat is “tossed about by the
waves.” Thinking Jesus is a “ghost” they
become “terrified.” Jesus assures them, “take
courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” These are
words that Jesus speaks to each of us.
Imagine Jesus saying these words to you.
Imagine Jesus stretching out his hand to catch
you as he says, “Take
courage, it is I; do not be
afraid.”
Remember this
scene in your times of fear.
Peace be with you!
God bless,
Fr. McKee

Is the RCIA for YOU?
or for Someone you Know?
Are you baptized in another religion or
not yet baptized and may be interested in
becoming a Christian in the Catholic tradition?
Are you a baptized Catholic, but did not receive
the Sacraments of Confirmation and/or Eucharist?
Now is the time to consider for yourself... or to
invite someone to RCIA. Beginning in September,
we will gather together one evening each week in
the Parish Center to listen to and reflect on God’s
Word and deepen our understanding of the
teachings of the Church. There is no pressure
or obligation: it is merely a time to inquire.
Pease contact Sr. Bridget at 610-449-3000 or
[email protected]
for
more
information
The main reason people say they
did not become Catholic sooner is because no one
asked them! NOW IS THE TIME!
