HOLY FATHER’S INTENTION FOR THE MONTH of July 2017: Lapsed Christians: That our brothers and sisters who have strayed from the faith, through our prayer and witness to the Gospel, may rediscover the merciful closeness of the Lord and the beau-ty of the Christian life.

Propelr Card Changes: Propelr is now partnering with Union Bank & Trust. They have changed banks that participate in the Propelr program. The Propelr program is now available through UBT.

Benefits of making the switch:

No preloading of funds/instant access to money

Local bank supports local community

Same great merchants

All you need to get started is a checking account at UBT, and you will be able to get back to raising funds for Sacred Heart.

You can do everything online in just a few minutes or stop at any Union Bank branch to open your checking account. If you open a new account, you will receive $50 for using your debit card (ten times in 60 days) and you will earn a $50 donation to Sacred Heart.
