Our community is excited to participate alongside all parishes, missions and Catholic centers in the Archdiocese to strengthen and renew our Church for the future. Please continue reading to learn how this campaign will benefit us.
Since 1887, Sacred Heart Parish has served the Lincoln Heights community. Only a few in the Archdiocese can claim such a long history of walking hand-in-hand with their neighbors. We have been truly blessed with many gifts over the years — an elementary and high school; many important ministries, such as faith formation for our children, youth, and adults; and leaders who have risen from our own pews. Today, we are proud to be a community where families strive to be of service to all through Jesus Christ.
Last year, through a parish survey and many individual conversations, we listened to your thoughts and ideas on improving Sacred Heart. This year, we are excited to take action to address the needs and hopes you shared. Called to Renew offers us a historic opportunity to work together to address both current and future needs.
This fall, we are excited to announce the launch of this important campaign at Sacred Heart this fall Called to Renew will enable Sacred Heart to raise the necessary resources to improve our church and impact our community. Together, we can continue to transform lives through proclaiming the Gospel, demonstrating compassion for our neighbors, restoring our neighborhood, and confronting the injustice we encounter.
Please take a moment to prayerfully discern how you can most generously support this campaign. I also encourage you to consider making a five-year pledge, which will allow us the best opportunity to reach our goal. This is a wonderful parish, and I am amazed at how our community always works together to meet needs that arise. I know you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a success.
Pledged over 5 years for the Called to Renew Campaign.
Our Parish Receives
$162,500
To renew our parish and strengthen ministries.
Parish Needs
Youth Ministry
To ensure a bright future for our parish, we will hire a part-time youth ministry coordinator who will work diligently to involve and inspire youth in our parish and the surrounding community. Strengthening our youth ministry will ensure we are engaging the next generation of our Church.
Parish Hall
We will direct additional proceeds from the campaign toward the renovation of our parish hall. New flooring, painting, and lighting will create a more welcoming environment, and installing a new HVAC system will make the hall more comfortable. We will also remodel the restrooms to ensure they are accessible to all parishioners.
A Bold Plan of Renewal
We — the Catholic faithful — are the agents of renewal for Church and society. I am grateful for this opportunity to walk alongside clergy and parishioners in strengthening our parishes and ministries, the heart of our Archdiocese.
