Help Us Save Our Church!
We are taught that we are to prayerfully
consider the pronouncements of our church leaders - but that ultimately we must
follow our God-given consciences.*

the modern world – Gaudium et Spes. Item 16. Proclaimed by
His Holiness, Pope Paul VI,

If your conscience tells you that Sacred Heart Parish
is:
·
A Viable & Vibrant community of
Christ.
·
A parish that gives back much more than it
takes.
·
A community formed almost 80 years ago that is not
ready to die.
·
A living witness of Christ that meets our
spiritual needs and is well suited to meet those of generations to come.

conscience tells you that it is not right to shutdown this catholic
community, then:
Please listen to your conscience!
