Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish

Guided by the Spirit of God, the Roman Catholic parish family of Sacred Heart of Jesus celebrates a living faith in Jesus Christ. As a people of God we are committed to worship in the Eucharist, to prayer and to an awareness of the needs of local and global communities as the gospel message instructs us. We direct our efforts to promote excellence in the Catholic tradition of education at all levels. We are diligent and responsible in maintaining sound financial and physical resources to meet current and future obligations. We strive to see the face of Jesus Christ in every person and to utilize the diversity of gifts present in our parish through collaborative ministries and apostolates.

Pastor Rev. Richard A. Scioli CSS

We are beginning a spiritual practice on the weekend of February 5/6. In the spirit of the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2^nd as the “light to the nations” parishioners will be given the opportunity to dedicate the sanctuary candle before the Blessed Sacrament for their intentions, whether they be for the deceased, for health and well-being, for thanksgiving, for a favor received, to name a few. The offering for the candle is $10 and the candle will burn for two weeks. The intention will be published in the bulletin and on the parish website.  Please contact the rectory for additional information.

Weeks of September 17, 2023 and September 24, 2023 - the sanctuary candle burns in loving memory of Joanne Stratton.

The sanctuary candle in the Chapel of the Holy Spouses will burn for eight days in loving memory of Alexandra Pilla.

Would you like to get more out of Mass?

Beginning WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2023, from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m., a BIBLE STUDY SERIES will be offered each Wednesday led by Father Greg Hoppough. The sessions will be held in the Chapel Room (lower Church hall) – behind the Chapel of the Holy Spouses, Mary and Joseph. Each week we will offer reflections on the up-coming Sunday Readings – what the Readings offer to challenge our faith and help us grow closer to our Lord Jesus. The sessions will include prayer, presentation of the Bible Readings, how the homily for Sunday is prepared, questions and comments.

If you are interested in participating in this Bible Study, please call the rectory at
(508) 634-5435. Thank you.
