We are to be a church of mercy especially towards those who are hurting. It has been my mission as Pastoral Care Minister at Sacred Heart to help those among us who are suffering from any physical, emotional, or spiritual problems. Divorce and the pain that affects all who are involved is an issue close to my heart. Too many of our members have left our community due to misunderstandings, feelings of rejection or judgement. I invite any one, yourself or someone you know, who has feltalienated from our church community because of divorce to contact me or any other member of the parish staff to discuss what we can do to bring healing and mercy. Even within such a large parish as Sacred Heart when we are missing one member it is one too many. Our mission as a church family is to help people encounter the Lord and open our hearts to him. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus, bring us his divine mercy . ~Deacon Ed
