This year, Sacred Heart Parish is undertaking a new and exciting fundraising initiative! To supplement the hard work of our existing Fundraising Committee, an additional team has been formed to seek funds from outside of our Parish. This External Fundraising Committee will be organizing new projects, proposals, and activities to find sources of funds from the local business community, the Calgary Diocese, and even further beyond our doors.
Christmas Eve Masses (4pm, 7pm & 10pm) are all filled up now, and cannot receive any more registrants. There are a few spots that remain open for Christmas Day Mass (10am). Please sign up soon. Please remember that you MUST sign up online, or by phoning the Parish Office, in order to attend Masses at Christmas, due to provincial COVID-19 restrictions.
It has been brought to our attention that many in our Parish have been receiving phishing emails that look like they are coming from Fr. Tomy. Please do not respond to these emails or click on any links within these emails. If you receive an email that seems suspicious, or one that is requesting you to communicate back via email, or if you are asked to purchase gift cards, please do the following:
Father Tomy will now be available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Saturdays and Sundays before Holy Mass. He will hear confessions from 4:15-4:45pm on Saturday evenings, and 9:15-9:45am on Sunday mornings.
As some of you may be aware, Father Wojciech will be leaving us, effective August 1st, 2020. After over 10 years in Strathmore, he has been transferred to St. Michael’s Parish in Bow Island, AB.

Now that Stage 1 of Alberta's Relaunch Strategy has begun, as of May 14th, the Diocese has released new guidelines for Catholic parishes.

Sunday and weekday Masses will continue to be celebrated privately and available via live-streaming.
