Thank you to everyone who purchased cards from the Sacred Heart Knights Keep Christ in Christmas cards sales. With your help we were able to raise $1000 to help the Sacred Heart Academy art programs. Winning designs from our previous eleven Keep Christ in Christmas contests are used to create cards which help you wish friends and family a very Merry Christmas.

Saluting Fathers
In this time of crisis, with religious faith and family life under attack, faithful Catholic men are needed to heed Jesus’ call to do His work. Men are called to act as strong leaders, showing their family the importance of living their religion. The Sacred Heart Knights of Columbus would like to thank all the dads in our parish for everything they do. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to all fathers who might consider joining our brotherhood. As a Knight of Columbus you serve the parish and our academy in many ways and are a visible example to your children and others in the parish that men play a critical and dynamic role in the faith of their families and of the parish community. Happy Father’s Day!
