Sacred Heart

From the Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

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.

Thank you in advance for your faithful support.

Peace in Christ,

Fr. Tesfaldet Asghedom
