Advent Evening Prayers

Sacred Heart is having a Vespers Service on two of the Sundays of Advent. On Sunday, December 8th and Sunday, December 15th we are having a prayer service in church at 3:00 p.m.

The service consists of scripture readings, psalmody, petitions and reflection time. Pope Francis recently completed an encyclical on the Sacred Heart of Jesus entitled “Delexit Nos.” This is a Latin phrase which means, “He Loves Us.” Pope Francis is promoting devotion to the Sacred Heart.

It seems appropriate that we, as Sacred Heart Parish, should ponder what the Pope is saying. Fr. Mark is offering his thoughts on December 8th. Fr. Matthew is reflecting on the encyclical on December 15th. Please come and spend some time preparing spiritually for Christmas.
