Value this time of crisis - our slowing down, our being with the family and taking care of each other, our prayers. Our sitting quietly and listen to God's voice and why we are here in this earth. Read the Bible. Say the Divine Office. Make use of this time to read a spiritual book or life of a saint. Clean our space. Say the Rosary. Do your Stations of Cross at home. 

Know that the office will remain open during business days as usual. We can also talk over the phone as a preference at this time. 

Know that the church remains open as usual. Stop by the church and visit. Please limit up to ten people at this time and observe the social distancing and the CDC guidelines.

Know that confession and anointing of the sick are available. Call the office to let us know.

If you know somebody, especially elderly or home bound, who needs help to get the basic needs in life, call the office and we will run the errands for you. 

Join our parishioners doing via ZOOM or other means of media the recital of Holy Rosary and other devotions. Spread the word out to your friends to join. 

Please continue to support our parish financially by your tithing and offerings. You can drop your offering donation at the church's foyer in the collection box, leave it in the office or mail it in. Thank you four continued support and generosity.

Father will update developments on this situation through our webpage: http://www.sacredheartwaco.com and through our facebook account:sacredheartwaco.

Sacred Heart got a call today and the community is asking help to sew Mask.

Today, the CDC is officially recommending cloth masks in public for everyone.  

To assist our health care workers in hospitals and clinics, nursing home employees and other first responders in addition to the many volunteers who are still assisting:  Meals on Wheels, Caritas, Shepherd's Heart Food Pantry, etc. Sacred Heart - our parish is being asked to assist in making these masks.  If you would like to sew these masks which are already pre-cut. Packages of 25 masks to be sewn will be available for pick up Monday - Friday at Action Rental Waco, 811 Lake Air Dr., from 9am to 12noon.  After you have completed assembling the masks, you would return them to the same location.

As of now the Waco Police Department is asking for 500 masks for their officers. 

If you can share your talent in this time of crisis, you are very much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

father
