Christmas, 2019. My how the months fly by, and pretty soon it is the years that fly by.
This has been a difficult year for the many people impacted by flooding, too much rain apart from flooding, and poor weather for harvest-ing.
I hope and pray that you and your family has not been adversely affected by the weather.
Whether we can weather the storms of life is often a matter of faith. It is the presence of a strong faith life that can enable us to persevere during the difficult moments of life.
We can only imagine how difficult it was for Saint Joseph and the Blessed Mother to deal with what life presented them. —a virginal pregnancy and a despotic ruler with an exaggerated sense of importance and insecurity.
May this Christmas season find you with peace in your soul, harmony in your life, and the joy which only a newborn and precious baby brings to your heart.
The staff at Sacred Heart Church joins me in wishing you a blessed and happy family time this season, filled with the blessings of a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Merry Christmas!
Father Bill Reynolds
Merry Christmas

RCIA Are you or someone you know interested in learning more about our Catholic
faith? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) pro-
gram exists to help those adults who are inter-ested in learning more about or joining the Catholic Church. The RCIA process is a pe-riod of reflection, prayer, instruction, discern-ment, and formation. Sessions are held weekly in the adult room in the McCann Center. If you would like to know more information, please contact Luke Gregory in the Faith For-mation Office.
Adult Small Groups We have several differ-ent Adult Faith Sharing g r o u p s o f f e r e d throughout the year. Our next round will begin during the week of March 1st and will

Parish-Wide Meal & Faith Enrichment Sessions On every first Wednesday of the month, the Faith Formation Office hosts a dinner in the McCann Center from 5:15 pm to 6:00 PM with a faith learning opportunity to follow in the church from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Our focus this year has been on the lives of the saints – particularly saints who have stood up for the Faith during times of trial and tribulation. As Catholics, we currently find ourselves living in very trying times in the Church and this is a great time to look to our heroes in the Faith; the saints, for examples of wisdom and
fortitude; trusting that the Lord has not left us alone in the boat during these difficult times (Mark 4:8).
Our next Faith Enrichment Session will be held on Wednesday, February 5th. If you have not attended one of these sessions in the past, please know that you are still welcome to join us in February. We hope to see you there!

Place your donations in the wooden box in the vestibule of the church.
Sacred Heart’s end-of-month excess food pantry items are delivered to the Salvation Army. In our community there are more than 200 homeless men, women, and children; many of them don’t have enough food to eat. By donating our excess food pantry items, our parish helps those in our commu-nity who are food insecure.
