Ladies of Sacred Heart would like to thank a wonderful and beautiful group of parishioners from our church who have been working tirelessly to make face masks for our community's essential workers. The project began with CHI St. Vincent and soon grew to include other HSV organizations and communities across our country. Working with Colleen Angel (Tiny Angels) and her volunteers, they have made close to 1,200 masks in just three short weeks. Sacred Heart volunteers include Anne Dierks, Marty and Randy Schnoebelen, Jane Blankenstein, Dee Kapple, Patti Sheppard, Jackie Beaumont (daughter of Ruth Knight), Sherrie Nichols, Colleen Dimitry, Liz Edwards, Karen Feckler, Mary Ann Farner, Reta Osmond, Debbie Garrett, Bonnie Norell and Linny Rohrer.
Mask recipients include:
CHI St. Vincent hospital and clinics (560)
HSV Police, Fire and Sanitation Departments
Mt. Carmel Retirement Community
US Postal Service Office
Black River Falls Hospital (Wisconsin)
Health Mart Pharmacy #1
VA Hospital in Louisiana
The ladies offered face masks to National Park hospital but they declined the donation. These face masks are now available to Sacred Heart Parishioners in exchange for a donation to the Tiny Angels program. Contact Liz Edwards (832.236.3350) for more information.

| walking with purpose |
Walking with Purpose is back for Fall! Please consider joining us for Reclaiming Friendship, a 6 week study that explores God's plan for friendship, which was meant to be a foretaste of Heaven. What a wonderful way to dive back into relationships as we come back from COVID. Like all Walking with Purpose studies, Reclaiming Friendship will help us explore the link between everyday challenges and the solutions given to us through the teachings of Jesus and the Catholic Church through personal study and small group discussions.
Sessions will be held between October 4 - November 15. Watch the church bulletin for preregistration details in September. The cost of the workbook will be $20. Contact Cathy Kraus (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) in the parish office for more information.
