Family Fellowship
-
Family Fellowship at Sacred Heart is a dynamic ministry that provides our parishioners the opportunity to come together with their children to express their faith and celebrate family. Our activities include:
-
Open gym nights
-
Halloween trick-or-treat and dance
-
St. Patrick's Day party
-
Children's Stations of the Cross
-
Mardi Gras pancake supper
-
Christmas movie party
-
-
In addition to the fun and games, guest speakers inform and enrich our parents, giving them information on topics ranging from technology awareness to managing the stress of being a mother. Childcare is provided for those events geared toward parents, and it is more than babysitting as the children learn about Saints and do arts and crafts that correspond to the liturgical calendar. The activities offered are featured at varying times and dates, and they are designed to give families with children of all ages an opportunity to participate.
All Family Fellowship activities (with the exception of the Halloween trick or treat dance) are offered at no cost, and they are run by a team of volunteers. If you are interested in joining the committee, please contact us!
-
Calendar of activities
We will present our newest list of Family Fellowship dates and activities as we safely open up more and more in 2021-2022.

Life in the Spirit
-
The Life in the Spirit Prayer Group offers a weekly opportunity to praise and worship God. The focus is on the work of a personal relationship with Jesus. Our prayer takes the form of joyful songs, personal praise, relating times when Jesus was obviously present in our lives, and a period of listening to what God has for us to hear.
-
- We celebrate a charismatic Mass with Anointing of the Sick on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Little Church. Healing prayer is before Mass at 6:55 PM, and there is individual prayer for healing after the Mass by the Prayer Teams.
- Meetings are open to all who wish to pray in this manner and are held on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Wednesday evenings of the month in Room 105 from 7:15 – 8:45 PM.
You are invited to join the group to learn how the Holy Spirit can become a greater part of your life!

Women's Cornerstone
-
Women's Cornerstone offers the women of our Sacred Heart community time to step away from the rigors of daily life and draw strength from God and one another. By bringing together women of all ages and in different seasons of their faith journeys, we benefit from the
strength found in one another.
The 26-hour Cornerstone retreat is the hallmark of our group, but we also gather together at meetings or other events throughout the year that help us draw closer to God.
-
The Cornerstone retreat provides 26 hours away from the demands and challenges of daily life, giving women the opportunity to reconnect with God and nature, relax, meet other faith-filled women, and take some quiet time for themselves. The environment is comfortable, supportive, and encouraging, and meals and snacks are provided. Our activities vary, but they are always designed to support the theme and focus of each retreat. Past themes include "Hope for the Journey", Proverbs 31:31, Micah 6:8, and "Jesus My Rock."
Consider joining a diverse group of dynamic women for an experience you will treasure as you walk your own journey… wherever it may take you!
