Pope Francis Wednesday criticized those who give more consideration to money than the sacraments or helping others find true wealth – a relationship with Jesus Christ.

This Sunday, August 11th, we'll take a photo in anticipation of the Cornerstone Ceremony coming Sunday, October 20th.

We have obtained the New American Bank property on 16th Street. The bank has moved out of that building to a location on the Avenue of the Cities. We appreciate the bank’s willingness to assume costs like taking out hazardous materials, soil testing, and working with the Illinois EPA so that we would have a piece of property that is ready for the next step.

“The Heart of Christ is so great that it wishes to welcome us all into the revolution of tenderness. The closeness to the Heart of the Lord urges our hearts to approach their brother with love, and helps to enter into this compassion for the world,” Pope Francis said June 28, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Sacred Heart will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Laying of the cornerstone of Sacred Heart Church. We all can take pride in our church and try to preserve it for the next generation of Catholics.

Choose a supply list on July 6th, 7th, 13th, or 14th, and bring supplies back by July 28th to support students of Seton Catholic School

Join us at 12:30 pm on August 11th for a photoshoot on the church steps for our 100th Anniversary, then an ice cream social and movie!
