This Sunday, September 28, Haitian Ministry is “doing Brunch” after Mass.
It will be a whole meal – there will be breakfast and lunch foods for your eating pleasure.
No charge – free-will offering. Bring your appetites! All money collected will go to buy food for the people of Haiti – additional rice and beans to carry them over after the brutal storms.
We’re celebrating again! Stop in THIS SUNDAY, September 7, from 1:30 to 4:30pm for our annual Coney Island Picnic. Loads of great food, tons of fun for all ages, and fantastic fellowship. As always, there’s no charge - Sacred Heart doesn’t nickel-and-dime you. Bring some side dishes if you want, but don’t feel obligated to do so. Just come, eat, and have a good time.

Combined Pastoral/Parish Council Meeting
June 17, 2008 7:15pm, Saint Maurice
Name tags were distributed, an attendance sheet was distributed.
Meeting started with prayer. Persons spoke their names.
Father Stan sent apologies from Sr. Elissa – she has bronchitis and laryngitis and sounds like a bass – but Father explained that we will follow her agenda for the evening, which consisted of two questions.
———
Two questions were asked:
Are you coming to the 50th Anniversary Banquet at Maneeley’s? Here are some directions for you:
From Buckland Hills Mall:
North on Buckland Road down to Five Corners into South Windsor. You will see a big white church across from you. Go straight onto Sullivan Avenue (Rte194) driving approximately 5 miles. You will see the Exxon Gas Station on your right: take your immediate right after the station (180-degree turn onto Rye Street.) Maneeley’s is on your left Looks kind of like a church, but nicer.
Coming from elsewhere you can get good directions here.
The annual parish picnic celebrating the 50th anniversary of our parish as well as the 65th birthday of Father Stan will be held THIS SUNDAY Sunday, June 8 in front of the church.
There will be a “Bounce House”, an “Inflatable Batting Cage”, a “Pop-The- Balloon” game, a fishing pond and duck pool for the little ones and a “Dunk Tank” as well as sno-cone and popcorn machines.
Please sign up (if you can) at either of the entrances to the Church to 1) let us know how many people are coming, and 2) to let us know what you would like to bring to the picnic (vegetable dish, salad, or dessert).
No charge, and everyone is welcome no matter whether parishioner or not, and no matter whether you bring food or not. This is for everyone!
