How to Support Sacred Heart on Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday takes place on December 1. On Giving Tuesday, you can help us with an important project!
The Knott Foundation recently approved our request for a grant to assist in handicap accessibility for the church and school. Sacred Heart Parish still has to cover the remaining balance. The project includes creating a smooth walking area to the churches, upgrading the walkway from the school-side parking lot, and installing door assisted openers.
All donations received by Sacred Heart on Giving Tuesday (December 1) will be used for handicap accessibility. If you can help, please click here for ways to give. On this Thanksgiving weekend, know that we are always grateful for your generous support!
