We here at Sacred Heart Parish are grateful to Sister Kathleen Power, who spent an informational meeting and three subsequent discernment meetings with members of our parish and nearby parishes.  Because of her dedication we added 7 new members to the Associates of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Saint Augustine.

Dave Montgomery, Geeta Hyjek, Carol Jones, Ruby Jones, Janet Tinoco, Susann Engel and David Miner join the already formed group of Lay Associates from Central Florida.  We had our first meeting with the rest of the Associates from Central Florida on Sunday, June 12, 1:30PM to 4:30PM, at which time, Dave Miner made his commitment and the rest of us re-committed ourselves to being Lay Associates.  It was a wonderful experience for all who attended.  We were especially grateful to have the Mother Superior, Sister Jane Stoecker with us for this occasion.

Sister Kathleen will once again have an informational evening and three discernment meetings to hopefully add to our numbers.  Please watch the bulletin for more information to come.

It seem like a long time off but before you know it BINGO WILL BE BACK!!! So mark your calendars –  Monday night Sept 19, 2016 and Friday afternoon Sept 23, 2016

This year’s  Vacation Bible School was a blast!   Children from ages 3 to 11 who joined VBS prayed, sang together, played barnyard games, made crafts, and learned about Jesus. This year’s theme ” Roundup Barnyard” allowed the children to “round up with Jesus’ and learned that He is our Shepherd.

We would like to thank all our volunteers who helped make this year’s Bible School  successful.  We would also like to thank those who generously donated snacks for the children.  God bless you!  See you all next year!
   

Sadly!! Bingo has come to an end for the season. Monday night was our season finale Bingo Bash for the year! Sacred Heart Bingo & Knights of Columbus raised $ 3,200.00 towards the surgery for Avery Bishop! What a FANTASTIC NIGHT for All! Many thanks to all the Bingo Players and Volunteers for all your hard work and wonderful support throughout the year! We are truly grateful here at Sacred Heart. Monday night Bingo will resume on September 19,2016 and Friday Afternoon will start on September 23, 2016. SEE YOU ALL IN THE FALL!!

The Traveling Mother of Divine Mercy Prayer Group led by its Spiritual Director, Fr. Aldrin Nunes, visited the home of parishioners Rudy & Jane Van De Graffe. A statue of the Blessed Virgin was brought to their home and will remain there for a while. The Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet were prayed, and the home was Enthroned to the Divine Mercy. A Divine Mercy image was left for the family to keep. Their children & grandchildren traveled from as far as Hawaii to attend this special prayer devotion and to celebrate Father’s Day.

If you would like a Traveling Mother of Divine Mercy Prayer Group visitation at your home, please contact Esper Radosta at 386-848-1787.

All life is sacred as each one of us is made in the image and likeness of God. We cherish each person as a child of God.

We pray for victims of violence and acts of terror…for their families and friends…and all those affected by such acts against God’s love.

We pray for the people of the city of Orlando that God’s mercy and love will be upon us as we seek healing and consolation.

Every time we look at the Cross, we see how God has forgiven us in Christ – with a love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things; love never fails.

We dry the tears of those who weep and mourn as gently as Veronica wiped the Lord’s bleeding face on the Via Dolorosa.

May the Peace of Christ dwell within our heart.

Bishop John Noonan, Diocese of Orlando

Fr. Kevin McDonald and Fr.  Aldrin Nunes together with Maria Bilodeau, Sylvia McCormick,
Zena Szhimizzi, George Seney, and Mac McCormick joined hundreds of parishioners and leaders from different faith groups to remember the lives of the victims of the Orlando
