SACRED HEART AND IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

Sacred Heart Parish of Du Quoin, Illinois – Founded In 1857
and
Immaculate Conception Parish of Tamaroa, Illinois – Founded in 1890

~ TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ~
August 14, 2022

We hope your stay in 0ur area is pleasant and enjoyable .
We pray for your safety on your return travel back home

We hope you will join us again as we continue
to discover the difference God’s love makes in our lives!
We’re blessed because you’re here!

We like to think of Jesus bringing peace and joy, healing, and inspiration as he traveled from village to village with his disciples. But at this point in Luke’s Gospel he is making his way to Jerusalem, where he know what he will face, and his message has become sobering. The road to redemption is difficult. Jesus knew that sin and evil must be confronted. Our own encounters with sin and evil can be divisive, as Jesus warned his disciples. Let us pray for the will and the courage to stand up for what is right and good and holy, no matter the consequences.

Thank you to those who have volunteered in the past. If anyone cannot help this year, please contact us so we can remove you from the schedule. If we do not hear from you we will assume you can continue to help.

ADULT FAITH FORMATION RESUMING…

ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR MEANING IN YOUR LIFE?

Who am I? To find clues as to the meaning of life, we must first look at ourselves. Join us in adult faith formation this Wednesday, August 17th after the 5:30 Mass, as we find the answer to this question. We will meet in Haffner Hall, where we will watch a short video from Formed, and then discuss how it relates to our lives. Anyone, high school age and above, we would love for you to join us. Hope to see you there.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

Are you searching for personal time with God? Time to talk, pray or just listen to Our Lord.

If so, we encourage you to come experience Eucharistic Adoration. Eucharistic Adoration is every other Wednesday at Sacred Heart Church. Some parishioners sign up for an hour time slot, or you can come and spend time – as little or as much as you prefer – between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.. If you are looking for more information or you would like to set up a time, please call Lisa Mohr @ 542-4635. Everyone is welcome!

Weekly News:

MASS INTENTIONS

When a priest celebrates Mass each day, he offers each celebration of the Eucharist for a particular person, or intention. By doing so he applies special graces from God upon that person or intention.

Would you like to offer a mass for someone special? If so, please contact Kelly at the office: 542-3423 (except Thursday’s, call 496-5867). Mass intentions are $10 per person.

PARISH REGISTRATION

It is important to be registered in a parish so sacrament information can be logged and available for reference for any life event that occurs. Please pardon the oversight if you have not been receiving envelopes, or if there has been a life event (new to the parish, marriage, births, new addresses etc.) that we are unaware of. Give the office a call at 542-3423 and we will get you back on the registry and will answer any questions you may have
