Heritage Fund Mission Statement:
The mission of Sacred Heart Heritage Fund is to provide the financial resources that will enable us to better serve the present and future needs of our parishioners by providing an enhanced level of programs, services, and campus facilities. A wide variety of giving opportunities allows parishioners to direct their beyond Sunday-giving to their particular areas of interest.
What Is The Heritage Fund?
The Heritage Fund is a glimpse into the future of our parish. It is a mechanism to fulfill our dreams, look to the future and realize the possibilities.
In other words, The Heritage Fund will bring us Beyond the Necessary!
We want to be able to enhance the vibrancy and sustainability of our parish by providing a means to accomplish infrastructural and programmatic endeavors that simply cannot be absorbed by the normal weekly collections.
Sacred Heart is already a great parish. Supported by our wonderful clergy and staff we are able to enjoy a rich and wholesome spiritual life.
We are blessed with the generosity of our parishioners – both monetarily and through volunteer efforts – who sustain the dynamic community that we all enjoy. It’s now time to take Sacred Heart to the next level!

Your Investment Makes a Difference:
The Heritage Fund is the vehicle by which our “beyond the necessary” parishioner goals will be realized. Thus, your investments in The Heritage Fund will have a direct bearing on actualizing the priorities that have been established through consultation with the parishioners.
How Can I Be A Part Of The Heritage Fund?
Some have been a part already and you can too! The Heritage Fund will be supported through contributions made over and above weekly collections. We ask you to think about ways you can contribute to the Heritage Fund. It could be through an annual donation or a multi-year pledge. You may wish to remember Sacred Heart through The Heritage Fund in your Will. The Heritage Fund may be an option in lieu of flowers when a family member passes. Or it may be by supporting fund-raising efforts for The Heritage Fund.
Donations to The Heritage Fund can be made at any time. Perhaps give an initial gift this year…make The Heritage Fund one of our annual “must” donations…or choose to memorialize a loved one or celebrate a singular occasion. It’s up to you. The names of donors who contribute $1,000 or more will be inscribed in the Sacred Heart Heritage Fund Donor Registry, which will be displayed in a place of honor in our church vestibule.
However you are comfortable supporting The Heritage Fund, you will always know all of the contributions given will stay right here at Sacred Heart, and you may either donate to the General Fund or select an area that is important to you.
