Archbishop Lori has announced that Fr. Canisius is being appointed Associate Pastor in Residence at St. Charles Borromeo effective September 1. While Father Jerry will remain pastor of both Sacred Heart and St. Charles, Father Canisius will live at St. Charles and become more and more responsible for the day to day operations of liturgy, the Sacraments, finances, and social activities.
At the same time the future Fr. Brendan Fitzgerald has been appointed Associate Pastor for Sacred Heart effective September 1. You may remember seeing Deacon Brendan Fitzgerald from his time here during quarantine. He is presently finishing his service at St. Peter in Libertytown, and is very excited about coming to Sacred Heart. He will be ordained on August 22, 2020 at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen.
Additionally, we bid farewell to Chris Welsh who has served St. Charles as Pastoral Associate for many years. We promise our prayers and best wishes as he moves on to other service.
Please also welcome Cornelius Ugwu who arrived last Thursday to begin his pastoral year with us here at Sacred Heart.
These many changes will hopefully assist us in serving the two parishes of St. Charles and Sacred Heart in an even better way. Please keep both communities, all of our clergy, and our staff members in prayer during these transitions.

This weekend we will be celebrating The Solemnity of Corpus Christi, The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, outside (weather permitting). If you plan to attend Mass in person this weekend, and we hope you do, please remember a blanket or chair, and a mask. There will be a brief exposition of the Blessed Sacrament after each Mass; we will adore Christ in the Blessed Sacrament for about 15 minutes and invite you to stay and join us in prayer for our parish community, our nation, and the whole world. Additionally, many children will be receiving Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time this weekend at all Masses. We look forward to celebrating this momentous occasion with the children and their families!
Este fin de semana estaremos celebrando la solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad afuera (si el clima lo permite). Si planea asistir a Misa en persona este fin de semana, y esperamos que lo haga, recuerde traer una manta o silla y una máscara.
If the weather should turn bad, we will move Mass inside. In order to avoid a crowd of people rushing the doors, which would be very unsafe for everyone, we are going to try a simple RSVP system (below). If we must move Mass inside, preference for entering the building will be given to those who RSVP using the signup below. There will hopefully be space available for walk-ups and those who do not have Flocknote and are unable to use this Signup system. Should this happen this weekend, or in the future, we ask for your continued patience as we work to keep everyone safe. You may notice fewer spots available this week, this is due to the holding of spots for families whose children will be receiving sacraments this weekend, who will be given preference for inside seating should the weather turn bad.
Si el clima empeorara, trasladaremos la misa al interior. Para evitar que muchas personas se se junten en las puertas al mismo tiempo, lo que sería muy inseguro para todos, vamos a probar un sistema simple de RSVP (lo encontrará abajo). Que es un sistema donde usted reservara su asistencia. Si debemos trasladar la misa al interior, se les dará preferencia a entrar en el edificio a aquellos que confirmen su asistencia utilizando el registro. Con suerte, habrá espacio disponible para los vengan sin registrarse y para aquellos que no tienen el sistema de Flocknote y no pueden registrar. Si esto sucede este fin de semana, o en el futuro, le pedimos su paciencia mientras trabajamos para mantener a todos a salvo de contagio.

It is with great sadness that we share that Father Canisius’ father, Christopher Tah, died early this morning in Cameroon; let us pray for the peaceful repose of his soul. Please also keep Father Canisius and his entire family in your prayers during this difficult time.
Please join us in wishing Father Jerry a happy 60th birthday today!
