Almsgiving
During this time of sacrifice, almsgiving is a way to fulfill your Lenten obligation over and above your regular offertory. These items include volunteer opportunities as well as financial donations. Take a look at the list below.

Lumen Christi Legacy Society: You can provide for yourself, your family and still leave a permanent legacy for the future of Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

here.
Non-perishable food items can be donated to God's Storehouse by using our convenient drop off location. Drop off your donations in the large wooden box in the commons and we will take care of the rest.
CRS
Rice Bowl is a staple on the table of
Catholic families across the country during Lent. This simple cardboard box is a tool for collecting Lenten alms—and comes with a
Lenten calendar that guides families through the 40 days of Lent with activities, reflections and stories. Stop by the office to pick up yours today, while supplies last. Follow
this link to their webpage for recipes, faith stories and direct impact stories from your donations.
Volunteer at the church - it takes an army of Christian disciples to share the Word of God. That is true inside the church as well. Volunteers lead the majority of the programs that we offer. If you would like to learn more about volunteer opportunities, reach out to one of the staff members, Mary Foley (financial), Elaine Taylor (lector, laundering and repair, Eucharistic Ministry, decorating, etc), Joyce Bustamante (faith formation and youth events), Homero Ramirez Leon (Hispanic ministry and communications) or Norm Aquilo (music and technology).
