The Holy Family Prayer Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary, bless our family. Graciously inspire in us the unity, peace, and mutual love that you found in your own family in the little town of Nazareth. Mary, Mother of Jesus and Our
Mother, nourish our family with your faith and your love. Keep us close to your Son, Jesus, in all our sorrows and joys. Joseph, Foster-father to Jesus, guardian and spouse of Mary, keep our family safe from harm. Help us in all times of discouragement or anxiety. Holy Family of Nazareth, make our family one with you. Help us to be instruments of peace. Grant that love, strengthened by grace, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which our families sometimes pass. May we always have God at the center of our hearts and homes until we are all one family, happy and at peace in our true home with you. Amen

Why not make a New Year’s resolution that can change your life? Start the New Year by spending some personal, quiet, one-on-one time with our precious Lord Jesus Christ. What better way to say good-bye to the past year with its many blessings and sorrows and to ask God for His guidance and protection as we start the New Year.

Our Lady of Fatima The Five First Saturdays Devotion
Our Lady of Fatima Rosary is recited every 1st Saturday of the month at 4:15 pm right here at Sacred Heart!
Next Saturday - January 5, 2019 During her July apparition at Fatima, Our Lady said to
Lucia, “I shall come to ask... that on the First Saturday of every month, Communions of reparation be made in atonement for the sins of the world. Tell them that I
promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation all those who, in order to make
reparation to me, on the First Saturday of five successive months, go to Confession, receive Holy Communion, say five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for a
quarter of an hour, meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary.” To those who faithfully follow Our Lady’s requests for the Five First Saturdays, she has made a wonderful promise in which she, as Mediatrix of All
Graces, will certainly fulfill:
“I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation.”

Experience the Healing of God’s Mercy: A Day of Reflection, Prayer and Divine Love
Saturday, January 19, 2019 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
People hurt us through what they say or do, or what they fail to say or do. Sometimes we forgive. Sometimes we struggle to forgive. At times, we are left hurt and deeply wounded. This day will offer an opportunity to gain under-standing of God’s mercy for us and how we can imitate God in sharing mercy with those who have hurt us.
