Early June Feast Day Masses and More

Who would have believed this a year ago?

• On Thursday 3 June at 5:30 p.m. there will be a Sung Mass in the Extraordinary Form for the Feast of Corpus Christi at Sacred Heart Church. Immediately after* Mass there will be a traditional Corpus Christi procession. The procession will encircle the block on which the church and the other parish buildings are situated. Benediction will be be given at two altars on the route of the procession, and the procession will end with Solemn Benediction at the main altar of the Church. There will be a collation afterward with light refreshments served.

Or this?

• As part of the celebration of the 125th anniversary year of Sacred Heart Parish there will be a Sung Mass in the Extraordinary Form on Friday 11 June at 7:00 p.m. on the parish's patronal feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Litany of the Sacred Heard will be recited after Mass, a parish reception will follow.

Tell your family and friends. How many of them - or you - have been to a Corpus Christi procession in the past 40 years? Join us - and Pope Benedict XVI - in professing our Faith and restoring our Catholic Identity.

*Sunset on 3 June is at 2016 (8:16 p.m.) so there will be plenty of time for the procession

Sunday 18 April - Sung Mass, Coffee Afterward...

Almost forgot, in case anyone else needs reminding, that this Sunday's Extraordinary Form Mass at Sacred Heart will be a Missa Cantata with the South Schore Gregorian Chant Schola.

After Mass there will be a collation - perhaps one could call it a "bruncheon" - in the parish offices, directly behind the church. Please join us!

Also - our somewhat impromptu cookout after last Sunday's Mass, which had been rescheduled to 5:00 pm, was a great success. It has been suggested that we do it again, although it would obviously be immediatly after the 12:30 E.F. Mass instead of in the evening. Please let us know your thoughts on this...

Sung Mass - Sunday 21 March - Collation Afterward

This coming Sunday, 21 March, is the 3rd Sunday of the month and so we will be blessed to have a Missa Cantata at the regular time of 12:30 p.m. After Mass there will be coffee and light refreshments in the conference room of the parish office. Please join us!

Light Refreshments After 12:30 Mass?

Last Sunday's collation after Mass was very well attended and I heard a lot of positive comments. The food and the company were great and there seems to be some sentiment toward doing this more often. Father Worthley would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Would you like to have coffee, etc. after Mass more frequently? If so, how frequently? Would you prefer just coffee and donuts, etc. or more substantial fare, e.g. luncheon? What other ideas or suggestions do you have?

High Mass!

Thanks to the work of Steve Cavanaugh who prepared the Schola and Leo Higgins who drilled the servers, we had our first Missa Cantata on Sunday 21 February. Everything went very well, and it was wonderful to hear Gregorian Chant at Sacred Heart! The collation after Mass was also very well attended.

For at least March and April there will be a High (sung) Mass on the 3rd Sunday of each month at the regular time, 12:30 p.m. There will be coffee and refreshments afterward, in the parish office, on both Sundays.

Save the dates:

Sunday 21 March
Sunday 18 April
