Sacred Heart of Jesus Prayer Chain

Due to scheduling conflicts with the Holy Cross Collegiate gymnasium, we will not be celebrating Holy Mass this coming Saturday (Sept. 25).  In the past we would have used the Sacred Heart Academy gymnasium for Saturday vigil Masses, but unfortunately due to COVID spacing requirements and space restrictions, this is not currently feasible. 

Instead, we will host two Masses on Sunday morning (Sept. 26), one at 9:00am and 11:00am, and invite parishioners to attend the Mass time that best works with their needs.  We apologize for the inconvenience that this causes for parishioners and families, but as we do not yet have a church of our own, and must share space with the local Catholic schools, this conflict is unavoidable.Thank you for your patience, as we try to navigate the difficulties of this time.

(Note: We do not rent HCC and SHA facilities, but have been able to use these for the last 14 years thanks to the generosity of the schools and the Christ the Redeemer school district.)

In response to the newest restrictions implemented by the provincial government (September 16), the Diocese of Calgary has released updated guidelines for the celebration of Holy Mass, as well as other parish activities.  Some of the key changes are:

• All parishioners are asked to wear masks during Mass, and seating will once again be distanced.
• Congregational singing is suspended until further notice, and choirs will return to only having one cantor/soloist in addition to the instrumentalist(s).
• Masks are to be worn as parishioners are in line to receive Holy Communion, and then removed only at reception of the host. 
  • Communion can still be received either on the hand or on the tongue.

Our goal is to begin praying the Novena to St. Joseph on January 18th, 2021 and to collectively as a parish reach 1,000 Novenas.

Please submit your totals throughout this time period using the "Novena Tally" form.

On Wednesday, September 22nd, Bishop McGrattan published a pastoral letter addressing the issue of COVID vaccine exemptions and how they will be addressed by the Diocese of Calgary and local priests.  Please take the time to read the letter by click here.
