The Hispanic families invite you to Our Lady of Guadalupe Mass on Saturday, December 12, at 9:00 a.m., in the Church. Following Mass, plates to go will be available with Mexican food (meat/carnitas, beans, rice, corn tortillas). Free will donations for the meal will be for the benefit our parish. (Father Dariusz, Deacon Alvin, Gricelda)

Information on the recent decision of the Supreme Court: It defined the legal understanding of people’s “sex” across the country, to include their action or their asserted transgender status. Rather their being male or female. This was most likely an attempt to honor people’s rights, but sadly misguided. Everyone has dignity and rights given by almighty God that we must honor. We should reach out with special compassion for the marginalized and the hurting. All are welcomed here, whoever you are or whatever background. Jesus died for all and it is both the Church’s duty and the Church’s joy to help all to know and follow him. The recent Supreme Court decision can further erode how people understand the truth that we are all made male and female and in relation to one another. It undermines the truth about marriage and attacks the basis of family life.

Per Bishop Joe Vasquez, effective immediately, there will be no public Masses held at Sacred Heart Church in Rockne or at St Mary’s Church in String Prairie. This means no Sunday or daily Masses until further notice. If you go to our parish’s website http://sacredheart.rocknetx.com there is information regarding live-streamed Masses for your remote participation and Spiritual Communion.
