Restoration at Sacred Heart

With the removal of the old cream-colored paint from the rectory, Phase III of the restoration of Sacred Heart Parish has begun. The rectory will look as fresh as it did in 1883, the year it was built as a residence for the Jesuits and offices for the parish. The surface will then be given a coating to protect the natural red brick.
The parish finance council has arranged for the installation of 
4-foot crosses around the lot to the east of the church, representing the 14 stations of the cross. 15 trees will be planted along both 28th and Lawrence Streets.
The parish continues to revitalize the church and its surroundings, and invites its neighbors to get acquainted. Daily Mass is in the chapel (on the ground level) at 8 am.
