A 90-Day Catholic Spiritual Exercise for Men
This Lent, Sacred Heart Parish invites all men seeking authentic freedom to join their brothers in Christ for Exodus 90, which will kick off on January 4, 2021. Exodus 90 is a 90-day spiritual exercise that gives Catholic men a clear path for the journey to freedom through prayer, asceticism, and support. More than 30,000 men around the country have made the Exodus and transformed their lives. You can, too! For more details and for contact info to enroll in Exodus 90, click here. (We will begin with virtual small groups and hopefully be able to meet in person as the year goes along.)
Start the New Year Right — Growing Closer to God
Dear friends in Christ: the Holy Spirit draws and nurtures us in our relationship with God, and leaning into Him, makes us the people HE desires us to be. It is an on-going process. The Life in the Spirit Charismatic Prayer Group invites you to join them in that wonderful, growing relationship. We sing, praise, worship, and share how the Spirit of God is working in our lives. We hold a Healing Mass in the Little Church on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, and we meet virtually on Zoom on other Wednesday evenings from 7:15 ‒ 8:45 PM each week. To get involved, please click for contact information.

IRS Charitable Contribution Limits and CARES Act
As you plan your end-of-year giving, the IRS reminds you that limits are suspended on charitable contributions for individuals and corporations. Individuals may deduct qualified contributions up to 100% of their adjusted gross incomes. No matter how small or large, many people can benefit from charitable deductions in calendar year 2020.

The CARES Act made changes in how many of us deduct charitable contributions. If you don’t itemize deductions, you may now take a charitable deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions made in 2020 to religious and other qualifying organizations. For full details, click here.
