Sacred Hear School News. The Angel Tree in the back of the church is being sponsored by our 5th graders. If you take an angel from the tree, please be sure to buy a toy for that child and tape the angel to the toy before you bring it back to the church. Remember, no gift wrapping, please. In the spirit of the season, our Sacred Heart School 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will each be buying toys for these children rather than exchanging gifts with each other. We are proud of their generous hearts. Helpers are needed at Castaways especially during this busy season. Please look over the times and days listed and if you have a couple of hours to spare, consider helping the good people at Castaways...these selfless acts of kindness make a great difference in the lives of others...especially in the lives of our families.
