Join us for the observance of First Friday as we begin at 6:30 pm with Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament followed by the singing of the Litany of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the celebration of the Holy Mass.  

A priest is available for the Sacrament of Penance during the time of exposition. Please join us in this devotion to which the Lord Jesus promised many blessings for those who observe this day each month.  

The Noon Mass at Sacred Heart Church is not celebrated on First Fridays due to the evening Mass.
