We, the Roman Catholic community of Sacred Heart Croatian parish, are a family of diverse people united through faith in Jesus Christ. We accept our baptismal call: to proclaim and witness the good news of the gospel; to live and work together as brothers and sisters; to celebrate God’s goodness in the sacraments and sacred scriptures; to serve all with justice, peace, and love in the name of the Lord. Embracing all, as a faith community, we promise to grow together to bring about the promise of God’s kingdom on earth.
CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS
The Croatian School & Tambura will have their program on Sunday, December 14th after the Croatian Mass.
Christmas is a time of giving and sharing, especially with the poor. There are ADVENT OFFERING FOLDERS available at the entrance of the Church for this purpose, where you can put each day of Advent, some money for the poor. We will collect the folders during the Christmas season.
This Advent our Parish will start a new and beautiful tradition of Rorate Caeli Masses, early masses during Advent in honor of our Blessed Mother. A Rorate Caeli Mass is traditionally celebrated just before dawn in Advent as a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Here at Sacred Heart we have a special devotion to Our Blessed Mother. Let us pray to Her as we journey through the holy season of Advent. Rorate Masses will be celebrated on Saturdays during the advent: December 6, December 13, December 20. Mass will begin at 6:00 AM. Saturday is a day in the week traditionally dedicated to our Blessed Mother.
Saturday, December 13th we will celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe with the celebration beginning with a musical program and a special Mass at 4:30 PM. After Mass all are invited to our parish hall where there will be homemade Mexican food (for purchase) and music for your entertainment. Free admission and all are welcome.
