CoronaVirus Update:
Sacred Heart Parish has received word from Bishop Sheridan that all Masses and Parish Activities are canceled effective March 13, 2020 through March 31, 2020 due to concern of the Coronavirus. He has made this decision on behalf of the entire Diocese of Colorado Springs in conjunction with the Bishops of the Dioceses of Denver and Pueblo. This includes ALL MASSES at ALL CHURCHES in ALL three Dioceses.
At Sacred Heart Parish this includes the cancellation of all Masses, faith formation activities and classes, weddings, funerals, confessions, parish activities and events, visitations and distribution of Holy Communion in nursing homes, hospitals and private homes. Anointing of the Sick will be offered if there is an imminent danger of death. During this time, Bishop Sheridan has dispensed all parishioners from their obligation to attend Sunday Mass. The also includes the cancelation of all activities at our facilities including The Lord's Dinner on Sundays, our Food Pantry on Mondays and Thursdays and all AA group meetings.
