Dear Sacred Heart Parishioners, Thank you so much for your generosity & support of our Baby Bottle Blessings Fundraiser! This year we raised an amazing $4,438.00!

Your gifts enable us to continue serving mothers and families by providing the practical, emotional, and spiritual support they need when faced with a difficult or unplanned pregnancy. God loves them all and so do we! You are making a difference in the lives of many of God’s people– born and unborn. How beautiful! Please know that you are in our daily prayers of Thanksgiving.

“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” JOHN 6:9

The miracle of the Loaves and Fishes is the only miracle which is recorded six times in the Gospel. It carries two important messages. First, no matter how little we have, we always have enough to share. Second, Christ can take our humble gifts and do great things with them if we are just willing to let Him. No gift is too small or insignificant!
