With so many new parishioners, we encourage people to visit after each Mass and make an effort to get to know some of those faces that don’t seem so familiar as others. We also ask that you be sensitive to those arriving for the next Mass and take your conversations outside and remember parking is limited! If you enjoy visiting for awhile after Mass, maybe consider parking around the corner and allow someone else a spot in the parking lot who might leave that open for someone arriving for the next Mass. Thank you!

All girls from Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish and Academy are welcome to take part in the May Crowning on Tuesday, May 14 at 6:00 pm during the SHA May Magnificat. Two names will be drawn one for age 11 and up to crown Our Lady, and the other age 10 and under to carry the crown. Please have your daughter(s) put their names in the age appropriate baskets in the back of church if they would like to participate.

All girls are asked to wear a white dress or a white skirt/top and white veil. We have been blessed to receive a collection of white dresses and veils from the Carmelite Nuns in Parnell for the girls to wear. The dresses will be available on Thursday, May 9th after school in room 302 for the girls to try on. There will be a practice after school on Monday, May 13th in the church. For the May Crowning, girls should arrive in church, dressed and ready at 5:40pm. If using one of the procession dresses, please arrive at the school by 5:20pm. All girls from the parish are welcome to participate! Please join us as we honor our Blessed Mother as Queen of Heaven!

The Sacred Heart Knights are helping moms during May with the “Thank You Mom Campaign.” Please help us by bringing boxes of formula to our display at the back of the church. All formula, bottles or pacifiers donated go to HELP Pregnancy Crisis Aid. Please focus on Yellow Enfamil, Gentlease Formula or store brand equivalents.

If you cannot purchase formula but want to help, you can drop a monetary donation in an envelope marked “Knights of Columbus – Thank You Mom Campaign” during Mass collections. The Knights will pool the money and purchase formula for moms supported by HELP.

Knights will be passing out gifts to all moms who donate on Mother’s Day weekend.

We will be hosting a bake sale at the WestFest Carnival on Saturday, May 18, beginning at noon. Please consider making a baked good for this event! Bring your baked good to the parish office or academy office on Thursday, May 16 during school hours or Friday, May 17 (no later than 11:30 a.m.). Proceeds will go toward youth ministry and athletics.
