The work of the Evangelization Team is to plan intentional ways of being hospitable and welcoming to one another so as to enable individuals to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, self and others in an effort to nourish our spiritual lives and to share faith with one another.

Ambassador Ministry: These ministers assist individuals and families who are registered non-participants at Sacred Heart Parish to know that they are welcome and needed. Each year 50 parishioners who feel alienated are identified, invited and involved in the life of the community.

Ministry of Hospitality: These parishioners plan events and/or provide refreshments for parish celebrations that give the entire parish an opportunity to connect as community.

 

On-Going EVENTS

Mom-To-Mom: Each Wednesday morning, mothers from the Hopedale area gather with their young children in our Parish Center . They find mutual support for themselves and a sharing and playtime for their youngsters. This is a non-sectarian group and all are welcome.
