Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before your face I humbly kneel, and with burning soul pray and beseech you to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment, while I contemplate with great love and tender pity your five wounds, pondering over them within me, calling to mind the words which David, your prophet, said of you, my good Jesus: "They have pierced my hands and my feet; they have numbered all my bones"
(Ps 21, 17-18).

Sacred Heart Parish - Mission Statement

We are the Catholic community in Mifflin County, a reflection of God's love for the world. We support each other by reaching out to those in need, fostering the beliefs and Tradition of the Universal Church, and educating our youth in knowledge and faith. We live our faith through Word and Sacrament, prayer and action, commitment of time and talent, tithing, and using our resources to honor Christ and respect all human life. By doing so, we strive to bring all people into Jesus' Sacred Heart, uniting us by living the life He exemplified.

MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR

Having enjoyed Christmas/Epiphany, we now enter into Ordinary Time of the Church calendar. Yes, we struggle with this season's snow and ice (and the coldest winter in 25 years), but the green of the vestments reminds us that growth goes on, even if hidden, beneath our sometimes frozen surfaces. What goes on here during this winter crunch? A bright spot: "Savor the Flavors from Around the World," offering international foods and musical entertainment, 6-10 p.m., Saturday, January 30th, at the Lewistown Rec Park Community Building. Sample foods of Asia, Latin America, Italy, and other regions, along with the music of the Tommy Ware group. Many parishioners are offering homemade creations from their own kitchens to support the effort. Buy tickets your tickets now from the parish office, OIP Downtown,Dan Bennett Insurance (Logan Blvd., Burnham), or Calkins Pontiac, Buick and Subaru (Ferguson Valley Road, Burnham). Proceeds go to Sacred Heart School, so it's all for a good cause. We rejoice that our school just received Middle States Accreditation and we look forward to celebrating Catholic Schools Week, Jan. 31 to Feb. 5th. See the bulletin for details.

Fr. Bill
