Welcome to Sacred Heart Church Solemnity of Mary
the Holy Mother of God January 1, 2017
First Friday Adoration Everyone is invited to come to pray sometime and offer adoration, repara-tion, and other prayers to the Most Sa-cred Heart of Jesus, Friday, January 6th. Exposition begins after the 8:15 AM Mass and ends with simple reposi-tion at 3:00 PM. You are also invited to the First Fri-day Holy Hour for vocations at the Pink Sisters at 7:15 PM. Singing will be led by the St. Teresa’s Men’s Choir (Nathaniel Cunningham).
The First Friday of the Month It was the special desire of our Lord Jesus Christ, revealed to Blessed Margaret Mary, that the first Friday of each month be con-secrated to the devotion to and adoration of His most Sacred Heart. The Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque: 1. “I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.” 2. “I will establish peace in their homes.” 3. “I will comfort them in their afflictions.” 4. “I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all in
death.” 5. “I will bestow a large blessing upon all their undertakings.” 6. “Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean
of mercy.” 7. “Tepid souls shall grow fervent.” 8. “Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.” 9. “I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set
up and honored.” 10. “I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened
hearts.” 11. “Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names
written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.” 12. “I promise thee in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-
powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday in nine consecutive months, the grace of final peni-tence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving the Sacraments; My Divine heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.”

School Notes Just before Christmas, our students took part in some great activities. While our 4th graders were experiencing Heritage School, our 6th – 8th grade students traveled around the city spreading joy by Christmas caroling at several locations including Ma-donna Rehabilitation Hospital, Bonacum House (where the retired priests live), and an assisted liv-ing facility. The folks we visited spoke of how beau-tifully the students sang an how much joy it brought them. The students had a great time too, though they were quite tired by the end of their tour! In the week leading up to Christmas, all the students par-ticipated in a donation drive for Catholic Social Ser-vices. Students donated personal care items like toothpaste and shampoo, food, and hats and gloves. They donated hundreds of items for the benefit of others. It was wonderful to see our stu-dents respond with generosity when they had an opportunity to give. We look forward to welcoming the students back from Christmas break on Tuesday, January 3!!
