The Braun-Sacred Heart Center is pleased to announce that the annual coming together for Christmas Mass will take place at the regular time of 12:00 Noon on Christmas Day inside the old Sacred Heart Church.

This is a time for celebration, for getting together, and for honoring the memory of those who have passed on. It's through the help from community members and local businesses that Historic Sacred Heart is prepared for our gathering.  This year the Diocese of Phoenix has provided the required insurance and Sacred Heart parishioners have provided a tremendous amount of help in preparing the church for this year's mass.

We also wish to acknowledge the continuing support from: 
 
American Legion Post 41

Phoenix Flower Shops for the beautiful flower
arrangements

Jimmie Muñoz for the wonderful Christmas Trees year after year
