PENTECOST SUNDAY

& Fifty Days after Easter

& The Birthday of the Church

& The Holy Spirit appears as tongues                     

         of flame over the Apostles.

& The sound of rushing wind is heard

& The Apostles are renewed in Spirit         

         and begin to speak and teach and   

         everyone understands them even

         though they are from foreign lands

         and do not speak the same

         language.

& God’s miracle of re-creation has

         come to earth.

 

In the second reading today, St. Paul reminds the Corinthians, “there are different gifts, but the same Spirit: there are different ministries, but the same Lord.”  How am I using my gifts for the common good?

 

Happy Mother’s Day

God bless our Moms and

keep them well.

They are God’s gift, as all can tell.

They touch our lives with love and care, and teach us

what it means to share.

So, on this Mother’s Day we pray,

God Bless our Moms

each day - in every way.

SACRED HEART SCHOOL NOTEBOOK

Sacred Heart congratulates our First Communicants!  During the last two weeks, over one hundred third graders from our PREP and School programs received the precious Body of  Jesus for the first time.  All of the children approached the altar with reverence and great respect.  To the parents who have led their children to this church and beautiful sacrament, we say thank you for being the instruments of the Lord. Each time you bring your child to church, each time you encourage them to say or do the right thing, each time you hug them and tell them how incredibly loved they are, you are acting as Jesus, here on earth. 

To the First Communicants, we pray that the excitement and joy which you felt this first time will be in your hearts each and every time you come to the Lord's altar!  All of the PREP teachers and Sacred Heart School teachers are proud of you and wish you God's blessings.

 

SPECIAL NEWS

We have received word from Bishop Cistone, that he will be coming to Sacred Heart to celebrate Confirmation on October 11, 2008. This early Fall date necessitates that we plan ahead so that those receiving this special Sacrament are well prepared, and that all things are in order. SO, Parents of those who will be celebrating Confirmation NOTE WELL: Registration forms and information packages will be sent home with your children within the next 2 weeks.

Please do not misplace these forms and study sheets. August 1st  is the dead line to return registration forms, eligibility forms for sponsors, and Baptism certificates (if they are not yet on file with us). Due to the early date given us by the Bishop, dates for class preparation, practices, reflection night, etc. will need to have adjustments to our normal schedules. We will get the information to you as soon as possible. As always, your cooperation and assistance are deeply appreciated and they help us to be able to help you.

 

 

PARISH RELIGIOUS EDUCATION  PREP – CCD  has opened registration for the coming year. Registration forms have been sent home with the children presently attending PREP.  Also, registration forms will be available in the vestibule of Church, in the Rectory, and in the Religious Education Office, (located in the School building).

Parents who will be registering children for next year’s session, are encouraged to register earlyTHAT IS NOW.  Please do not wait until August or September. Why?  Because doing so now, provides us with sufficient time to line up class lists, etc., and it also allows for ample time for ordering and receiving a proper number of books, etc. This also allows for less expense in the cost of books and materials. So, help us help you, be considerate and do it now.
