Happy Easter Everyone! “It will be sweet when we can gather again!” That message has gone out to all of our registered families thanks to the men of “That Man is you!” Many good stories from several of the men making deliveries to homes and having a chance to connect with people from our Catholic Community. Most important on this gift is the QR code inviting you to participate in our parish survey. The Pastoral Planning team is inviting all of us to be involved in the planning process as we look to our needs as the Catholic Community of Sacred Heart is what will hopefully be a post-covid 19 era.
If you like me are unable to access the QR code, please visit our website https://sacredhearthopedale.org/ and scroll down to Parish Survey click here. We want to hear from everyone so that we can plan our future together.
As we gather this Holy Week a wonderful work of art has been completed at the front of the church. The glass etched symbols of the four Evangelists that were once in the baldacchino over the altar and presidential chair before renovations are adorning the Gospel Tabernacle. The team effort to design, fabricate and display the symbols worked to get the project done for Holy Week. I wish to thank Kevin Maldarelli, John Walek, Larry Bonetti, Bill Parent, Gene Phillips and Paula Cadoret for collaborating together to make this all possible. In the weeks ahead we will be adjusting the lighting.
It is wonderful to see an increase in attendance as it gets warmer, and people are getting vaccinated. May the joy of these 50 days of the Easter Season bring us hope and peace as pandemic conditions hopefully continue to improve during these times. Have a wonderful Easter Season. Please remember the survey! Yes, “It will be sweet when we can gather again!”
