Charity & Prayer Groups

Eucharistic Adoration

Every Thursday the real presence of Jesus is in the Chapel, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Spend a half-hour or an hour before our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Many blessings have been received and prayers answered after time was spent in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. To sign up for a time slot, call the rectory.

Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul leads people to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to the needy and suffering.

Sacred Heart’s Society has made a commitment to help the poor and marginalized by providing meals to the needy at Kennedy House, collecting canned goods for both Kennedy House and the Outreach at St. Joseph Church, holding a semi-annual Food Drive, supporting the “Mini-Vinnies” at Sacred Heart School, supporting the Prayer Shawl Ministry, and supporting the home-bound ministry through Valentine’s Day baskets, as well as flowers at Christmas and Easter.
