At the Heart of Sacred Heart - Week of May 17th Highlights
Live Stream How do I join the Facebook Live Stream on Facebook, even if I don't have an account? Click this link: https://www.facebook.com/SacredHeartPortland. Invite your friends and family to join the live stream and experience Mass with you. This helps us stay connected in the Body of Christ in light of social distancing, "stay at home orders," or if you are ill and in isolation. Why your contact information is maintained if you attend Mass during COVID-19 Collecting Names for Mass Sign-ups & Contact Tracing Clarification Parish sign-up lists are primarily to facilitate sign-ups. Secondarily, they help the parish contact people in the event of a potential exposure at Mass. The lists are intended for internal use by the parish & must be maintained. A parish can ask the people who may have been exposed, to contact the county or other health officials on their own. A parish will follow guidelines put forth by health officials regarding potential exposure. The parish may be asked by public health officials for the contact information, and there may be a requirement to provide it for contact tracing. Therefore, anyone not comfortable with public officials potentially being given their name and contact information should refrain at this time from signing up and attending Mass. The Sunday obligation remains lifted. Reconciliation Confessions (by appt) will be held at a place and time determined by the priest who is temporarily covering for Fr. Bob. Please email Fr. Bruce. Remember your social distancing at all times and wearing a mask is required. Thank you! Financial Support in the time of a Pandemic Continue to support the mission of Sacred Heart Parish .**If you now are making or could start making your church contributions through Vanco and want to continue this even after the Pandemic is over, please let the office know so they can cancel your paper contribution envelopes. This will save the parish money. God Bless You. Stay Safe. Fr. Bob's Recovery from Surgery
As Fr. Bob has written, and discussed, his open heart surgery and recovery will take at least 6 weeks and he will return to parish duties when he is able. We are blessed to have Fr. Bruce leading us on our journey. Please continue to keep Fr. Bob in your prayers. 5/18/2020 Good News! Fr. Bob passed his tests so he could go home and continue his journey of healing from surgery. He requires a lot of rest and the energy he does have will be used on his healing journey. We kindly ask that you please refrain from phone calls and text messages. There is nothing more than he enjoys than good old fashioned cards and notes of well wishes. You are welcome to send a note or card to the church office (address is on the bottom right side of this web page). The office is poised to gather those cards and notes and will deliver them on a very regular basis. Thank you for continuing to storm heaven with prayers for his healing and good health. God Bless. Catholic Charities also wanted our parishioners to know if you are experiencing the ripple effects of this pandemic, Catholic Charities is committed to helping. Although our building is closed and we are operating remotely, WE ARE STILL OPEN. And want to share some contact information.
