Merry Christmas to all!
This Christmas Day, the Braun Sacred Heart Center, Inc. and Sacred Heart Parish warmly invite you to join us at the historic Sacred Heart Church for Christmas Mass. Let us come together this Christmas to celebrate the joy of the season, honor the memory of those we hold dear, and reconnect through these beautiful traditions. We hope to see you there. |
The photo is of the first Christmas Day Mass, held in 1987 and demonstrated that the community was determined to keep the City from demolishing Sacred Heart Church. The mass was held outside because the City would not allow anyone inside and was moving to tear the church down.
