Imagining the future
What’s new at sacred Heart?
START DATE
Cardinal Sean O’Malley has set June 1, 2024 as the official start date for
the establishment of Sacred Heart as an intentional, personal parish.
STAFFING
Our new pastor, Fr. Francis O’Brien is working with the Transition Committee
to recruit staff for the coming year.
The hiring of musicians and faith formation staff is our highest priority.
We will update our Staff webpage with new developments.
Options regarding possible affiliations are also being discussed.
PARISH MINISTRIES
We are also in the process of reorganizing Parish Ministries
in preparation for the many developments in the coming year.
We will add a webpage on Parish Ministries as soon as it is ready.
A NEW FOCUS FOR SACRED HEART PARISH
We are just starting discussions about new directions for the parish.
Fr. Fran arrives in June and will spend the summer setting up offices and meeting parishioners.
In the fall, we will activate parish councils and meet with current and potential parishioners to hear what people are looking for on the path forward.
This process will celebrate the new emphasis on synodality in the Catholic Church.
The official decree
Tell us about your hopes, fears and dreams
for a parish you can call home.
help us discern our future
Sacred Heart parishioners
stay informed with Parish Life,
a parishioner-generated publication that
has been covering parish news for over a decade.
(We offer back issues for perspective.)
