Greetings!
At Sacred Heart Chapel we are blessed to be given many opportunities to support those in need in our communities, remembering as Christians that we are called to love our neighbors as Jesus commands us, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew: 22:37-39)

This weekend at Sacred Heart (February 20-21), we will be promoting the Catholic Charities Annual Appeal through an In-Pew campaign, as well as the option to make a donation online or through the mail. The theme of the 2021 Appeal is Love Your Neighbor, https://www.catholiccommunity.org/2021-appeal.  

As One Body in Christ, let us take this opportunity to help our neighbors in need by supporting the essential programs and services that provide assistance to over 400,000 individuals in need across Northeast Ohio. If you are not at Mass in person to make your pledge, or have already pledged through the mail, I encourage you to link to the online pledge site https://www.catholiccommunity.org/ways-to-give/donate/catholic-charities.
I ask that you prayerfully consider how God is asking you to Love Your Neighbor in response to this important Appeal. Together we change lives!
Thank you for supporting those in need throughout our Diocese. May God continue to bless you and your loved ones.
Fr. Bill
