On Sunday, March 15th, we all awoke to the sad news that our Masses would be suspended to protect our parishioners from the spread of the coronavirus. We spent three long months learning a lot about social distancing, extra cleaning precautions, and praying for the health of our community. This week, however, Bishop Joensen has officially announced that Sacred Heart Church can begin holding SUNDAY Masses again! Sacred Heart will welcome parishioners back with open (and appropriately six feet apart) arms on Saturday, June 27th and Sunday, June 28th!
Sacred Heart Church will be offering a new, temporary 'Summer of Covid-19' Mass schedule.
Please review these Mass times as many have changed.
The Sunday Mass obligation will remain suspended in the Des Moines Diocese, so if you are vulnerable to COVID-19 or live with someone who is vulnerable, we kindly ask that you please stay home and continue to participate in our live-stream Mass online. For those who do not attend Mass, please know that God’s infinite grace and mercy remain abundantly available.
Daily Mass will return to the church on Tuesday, June 23 with Mass being held at 8:00 am.
Seating will be set up so parishioners are six feet apart.
O
ut of charity for others, we highly encourage and recommend that everyone over the age of five wear a face mask while at Sacred Heart.
We also encourage you to bring personal hand sanitizer to use before and after receiving the Holy Eucharist.
During this time of adjusting to a 'new normal', please bear with us as we are prayerfully working hard to find the best options to open the doors while keeping all parishioners safe and healthy.
