Catholic Liturgy is worship that we offer to God at the Holy Mass and other celebrations. All those who attend liturgy are called to actively participate in the prayer. The Church also needs those who will become liturgical ministers, offering their service to the community, so that our worship can be marked by hospitality and reverence. There are a number of ministries that enhance our parish's liturgy. 

Altar Servers are the youth of the parish that assist both priest and deacon during Holy Mass.

The Rosary is an iconic Catholic prayer and a rich, scriptural meditation on the life of Jesus.  At Sacred Heart parish it is recited before all weekend Masses.  The Schedule of Rosary Leaders is listed in the church bulletin board. Contact the parish office if you would like to join this ministry.

Living Rosary Circle members will be leading the Rosary during the month of May before weekday Masses as listed below:
     Monday: Barbara Brauner and Pat Henneke circles (Joyful)
     Tuesdays:  Karen Janda and Stacy Ryza circles (Sorrowful)
     Wednesdays:  Debbie Greene and Rose Cernoch circles (Glorious)

Eucharistic Adoration

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament offers a time of sacred silence, allowing for close Prayer with the Lord who is truly present and exposed in the Blessed Sacrament. In our parish, this happens on the First Friday of each month following the 8:30 A.M. Mass.  Adoration concludes with Benediction at 4:45 P.M.
 

Rosary for Life

On the third Wednesday of each month, the Respect Life Committee leads a Rosary for Life before the 6:30 P.M. Mass in the church.  Everyone is invited to pray for Greater Respect for Human Life.
