SACRED HEART’S ANNUAL CHRISTMAS DINNER—Each year Sacred Heart and the Hackett Family host a wonderful Christmas Dinner for the needy in our Parish and Community. Sacred Heart School collects gifts for the children and we provide a traditional Christmas Dinner and gifts to the children that attend. We are asking the Parish Community for new soccer balls, footballs, wiffle balls and bats, blankets, and cash donations are also accepted. Gifts may be dropped off at the Parish office. This is a time that we are grateful for our family and friends. Let’s share our good fortune with some of the people in the community that are not able to have a Christmas with all of the food and gifts!
