Just as on the road to Emmaus, Christ's disciples met him in the guise of a stranger, this year's theme helps remind us that Christ makes himself present to each of us in the lonesome traveler, the newcomer, and the migrant. We are called to open our hearts and provide hospitality to those in need. It is our duty to create a space of welcome and acceptance to the migrant who finds himself or herself far away from home and in a vulnerable situation.

Fr. Daniel Groody writes on the theology of migration in "Theology in the Age of Migration: Seeing the image of Christ in The Eyes of A Stranger." read more.....

Hola Amigos! Anyone interested in conversational Spanish and Latin American Culture?
In preparation for our delegates from Cristo Rey we hope to understand and appreciate their language and life.
Join us on Sat January 28 at 9am-10am at Deacon Joe's office (meeting room) at Sacred Heart Parish with Padre Freddimir.

Preparation for infant baptism at Sacred Heart consists of two sessions during which parents learn about the Rite of Baptism, the role of godparents, and the commitment to raise our children in the practice of the faith. Sessions are held on the first Thursday of alternating months (Session One: January 5; Session Two: February 2). Parents who have already taken part in previous baptismal preparation are asked to participate in Session Two. We heartily encourage you to complete baptismal preparation before the birth of your child. In order to provide a comfortable atmosphere where all can engage in this process, we ask that you leave children at home. To register for these sessions, or for more information, contact the Parish Office.
