News & Events Religious Education Director
I would like to welcome Priscilla Holman to the staff at Sacred Heart as our Religious Education Director. With Joanne Hoffart retiring after 35 years, large shoes needed to be filled. Priscilla retired from teaching after 30 years with the Portland Public School District. However, that hasn't slowed her down. She now mentors/coaches young teachers from Concordia University preparing the next generation of teachers. She hopes to bring her experience and enthusiasm to our Religious Education program. If you have children who have had the experience of being a part of Liturgy of the Word at the Saturday Vigil Mass, you know she has a way with the young ones. She and her husband Walter have been married for 37 years and have daughter Katie who is a recent graduate of University of Portland. Sharing time as family at dinners and vacations together is a priority to Priscilla. Priscilla will be sending out information on the program she is establishing and asking for input and involvement from the parents and other parishioners. Religious Education will start the week of September 19th. Fr. Bob Interested in R.C.I.A.?
RCIA -- the journey of faith who want to deepen their faith and learn more -- begins Sunday, September 25 after the 10:00 a.m. Mass and goes to 1:00 p.m. We moved it to Sunday from an evening as it just was making more and more sense that it was more of a viable time. If you know someone and you would like me to extend an invitation, just let me know. I'd be more than honored to. See more on the Growing Your Faith page. God Bless, Fr. Bob Capital Campaign
If you visit our Church grounds and take a tour, you will see our beautiful Church, our office building (the former rectory built in 1917), and here you may go downstairs to see our St. Vincent de Paul Society food pantry and our "Social Hall." Now, please contain your laughter. Yes, that basement space that we share with SVDP, our Religious Education Program, coffee and donuts and other social events is all we have. When numbers allow us, we will have funeral receptions, parish social gatherings and dinners. This area seats about 60 people somewhat comfortably. So in 2014, after a Master Plan was worked through with all the parishioners, it was unequivocally decided the Parish needed a hall. The aging original hall/gym had been torn down in 2005. It was time! So, in typical Sacred Heart fashion many minds and hands and hearts began to design, budget, and raise money. You can read the history in the other documents posted. Just know, it's a work in progress, and we welcome any and all support. God Bless You! |
