Apply early; after Oct. 4, applications go on a waiting list.
"In marriage, I have learned there are those who admit they have been through times when they wondered if their marriage would make it, and then there are liars. Relationships are hard, and the closer they are, the harder they can be. I tell everyone that I give premarital counseling to that the Lord has ordained their marriage in order to kill both of them! That is true. It is also worth it! The greatest gift He gave to man was marriage and family. However, to have a marriage that is good, both will have to die to themselves. If either one does not make the commitment to lay down their life for their mate and their family, then what was meant to be heaven can be hell." - Rick Joyner
Join A Ministry
There is the common misconception that volunteering necessarily implies a huge commitment of time--say every week for the rest of your life. Not so! We understand that you have a family, a job, other interests, and not a lot of free time.
Most of our ministries need volunteers. If you can usher, serve donuts, count money, etc. etc. etc., you are needed. Please pray about the possibility of standing up for a few moments at mass, or an hour or two a month, or whatever your schedule will allow.
Besides, Sacred Heart parishioners are some of the brightest, wittiest, nicest and most interesting people around, and volunteering will give you the opportunity to meet some of them. Please pray about this commitment.
