Please keep Deacon Mark in your prayers this weekend, it is a very special time for him. On Saturday, Deacon Mark will receive his Ordination into the Priesthood. Please see Heartfelt for the invitation, you are most welcome to attend. Father Mark will then celebrate his first Thanksgiving Mass this coming Sunday, Sacred Heart Church at 11am, followed by a Luncheon. Families are warmly invited to attend.
