From your most thankful pastor

The fundamental gift of Christmas is the gift of Christ's presence himself. It encourages us to enter into God's life giving grace by sharing the gift of ourselves in our time, treasures and our talents. I am overwhelmed by the countless hours, resources and talents giving freely by our parishioners to make things come alive over this last year.
There are so many groups that do good work but two have stood out this last year. Firstly, Anna Maria's many helpers have really helped to make Sacred Heart parish shine. The past building committee and volunteers have shared their time and talents to fix up the back yard, the upstairs rooms and the meeting rooms. On her behalf and on behalf of the parish I would like to thank all of you.
The second great gift of self that has stood out is the Arise: Together in Christ groups. I would like to thank the steering committee and all the group leaders who made these group possible. It is wonderful to share the gift of self.
