Ya no po-demos ser católicos por casualidad, sino más bien católi-cos por convicción. ~Reverendísimo Daniel R. Jenky, Obispo de Peoria, homi-lía en la Misa por el evento “Llamado a los hombres católicos de fe”, 14 de abril de 2012

HOME IS WHERE THE FAMILY IS The idea, dream, and reality of family is so strong and durable that we use it to describe all that is best about human gatherings. We speak of the family of nations, of our church and parish families. The greatest compliment we can pay a friend or gracious host is to say that we feel at home with them, we feel part of the family. In keeping with this sentiment, the Parish Office of Sacred Heart of Jesus sincerely wishes everyone a most blessed, hopeful and peaceful new year. Happy New Year~2013! EN EL HOGAR ESTÁ LA FAMILIA La idea, el sueño y la realidad de lo que es familia es tan fuerte y perdurable que lo usamos para describir lo mejor de las relaciones humanas. Hablamos de una familia de naciones, de nuestra familia eclesial y pa-rroquial. El mejor halago que podemos dar a un ami-go o amable anfitrión es decirle que nos sentimos co-mo en casa con su compañía, que nos sentimos parte de la familia. Contemplando este sentimiento, la ofici-na de la parroquia les desea con toda sinceridad a todo parroquiano un año nuevo lleno de bendiciones, esperanza y paz. ¡Feliz Año 2013!
