Greetings to all,
2020 has been a difficult year for our community. Many of us have lost friends and family to the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit our community particularly hard.
Thirty-three years ago, my father led the effort to have Christmas Day mass at now Historic Sacred Heart Church to demonstrate that, even though the Church had been sold to the City, the community of Sacred Heart refused to accept the plans to tear down that symbol, that heart, of the barrio from which it sprang. For thirty-two years we have gathered on Christmas Day to continue our sense of community.
Because of COVID-19, this will be the first time since 1987 that we will be unable to gather together. I have spoken with Father Paul Sullivan about how we can deal with our current situation. We have decided, in the best interest of public health, that we will not be having our Annual Christmas Day Mass.
We encourage you to watch Christmas Day Mass live streams through the following churches:
Sacred Heart Parish
Saint Mary's Basilica
Crosier Village
Thank you for understanding. We will see you next year.
