Parish Mission Statement

Through our Roman Catholic Faith, Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish is committed to welcoming, engaging, and serving a diverse population in the Heights and Hillcrest areas.

Established in 2010 through a merger of St. Margaret Mary and St. Gregory the Great Parishes, Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish is a vibrant center of Catholic worship, education, Faith formation, service, evangelization, and community life. Through these apostolates, we seek to enable our members to establish and nurture a relation-ship with Jesus Christ and carry forth His mission in the World.

The week of September 16th was an unbelievably busy week at Corpus Christi Academy. Our Eagles are reaching for the sky as we begin our Magazine and Cookie Dough Sales Drive. The annual drive supports our PTG and it lasts until Octo-ber 1st, so keep an eye out for Eagle Entrepreneurs.

Officer Phil stopped in on Wednesday to promote safety in our schools, homes, and community. The Officer Phil program collaborates with the South Euclid Lyndhurst safety officials to ensure that our students are prepared in all situations. Wednesday was also Marco’s Pizza Night. Thank you for your support by enjoying some of their delicious pizza pie.

Thursday we “ROCKED THE SCHOOL” with unique and innovative lessons created by our Eagle Educators. More importantly, our teachers have created an environ-ment where our students want to be each and every day.

While the events of the week disrupted the traditional classroom experience, these outside-of-the box activities are the perfect example of why the CCA Eagles SOAR above the competition.

As for ME AND MY HOUSE, We will serve the Lord!

- Joshua 24:15

God Bless,

Matthew Tabar, Principal Corpus Christi Academy

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

Eucharistic Adoration is adoring or honoring the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. In a deeper sense, it involves contemplation of the Mystery of Christ truly present before us. During Eucharistic Adoration, we “watch and wait”, we remain “silent” in His Presence, and we open ourselves to His Graces which flow from the Eucharist.

A “Holy Hour” is “Eucharistic Adoration of Reparation”: approximately 60 minutes of silent adoration. Adoration ceremonies traditionally include Scripture readings, hymns and prayers. Jesus waits for us in the Blessed Sac-rament. He waits for our acts of faith, love, thanksgiving, repentance, reparation and charity that we can offer Him as we contemplate His Divine Majesty in the Blessed Sacrament.

If you would like to become a regular “adorer” please contact Kay Sutula (216.849.1871).

From the Pastor’s Desk ...

My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Very soon, we will join with our Cluster Parish, Holy Rosary, in presenting the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initia-tion of Adults) to those members of our parishes who are seeking to learn more about the Catholic Faith and are interested in coming to know and embrace a relationship with Jesus Christ through membership in the Roman Catholic Church.

The RCIA Process will guide those interested in the Faith and their sponsors on a journey designed to bring them into full membership in the Church at the Easter Vigil, 2020.

Our search for people to join the journey will begin with an examination of our parish records to discover which members have non-Catholic spouses Once we have identified those persons, I will send out a letter to per-sonally invite them to join the Catholic Church. I would ask each of you to join with me in this effort by inviting your non-Catholic friends, relatives and neighbors to consider being a part of the journey this year. .

Please call or email me with the names of people you would recommend: (phone: 216.382.7601, x 14, or email at frireland@sacredheartofjesusparish.org).

May God’s blessings be yours this week.
