¿Cuál es el plan cuando la iglesia este llena? Cuando la iglesia se llene, empezaremos a llenar el “Parish Center” (salón parroquial) y ahí la misa será pasada en vivo. La Comunión será traída a el salon parroquial para mantener la distancia social. Como la misa más atendida es la misa de las 4, tendremos una segunda misa en el gimnasio de la escuela. Usted será dirigido al salon parroquial o el “Multi-Purpose Room”, donde la misa será pasada en vivo. Cuando lleguemos a nuestra máxima capacidad necesitaríamos pedirle que atienda misa en otro horario.

¿Habrá asientos reservados? ¡No, usted es bienvenido a atender la misa que usted escoja! Cuando usted llegue, notara que ay algunos asientos reservados para los ministros que estén ayudando en esa misa. Favor de planear como corresponde y tome en cuenta que alomejor no habrá campo en la iglesia dependiendo cual misa guste atender y a la hora que usted llegue. Historialmente, la misa de 4 PM es la más llena. ¡Llame a la oficina si usted puede ser ministro!

¿Cuáles precauciones de COVID serán puestos? Mascaras son requeridas por parte del Obispo Joensen para toda persona sobre la edad d 5 años. Cada familia estará sentada junta, pero 6 pies aparte de otra familia para proveer distanciamiento social. Gel antibacterial estará disponible en todas las puertas de entrada y los invitamos a que usted traiga su propio gel.

¿Cuáles puertas están abiertas y cuando podrá entrar mi familia? Las puertas al Norte y Sur del lobby estarán abiertas 45 minutos antes de la misa de 4PM y 30 minutos antes en todas las otras misas en Noche Buena y Navidad. Las puertas de entrada normales estarán serradas para que los acomodadores puedan sentar a las familias apropiadamente.

¿Las misas serán pasadas en vivo? Estaremos pasando en vivo la misa de las 4PM en inglés y la misa de 6PM en español. Esperamos verlos en misa, pero sabemos que muchos peregrinos aún no están listos para atender en persona. Podrán ver la Misa en Youtube o Facebook si siguen el desenlace en www.sacredheartwdm.org

¿Dónde es el mejor lugar para estacionarse? ¡Somos muy afortunados de tener un lote de parqueadero muy grande, así que ay que llenar nuestro estacionamiento primero! Ay parqueadero adicional en MercyOne Clinic o Stillwell Jr. High School.

¿Habrá música vocal antes de Misa? Planeamos tener música de piano antes de Misa, pero tristemente no podemos tener coro este año.

¿Cuáles son los horarios de Misa de fin de semana?Tendremos nuestro horario normal de fin de semana. Misa de 4PM el sábado 26 de diciembre, y el domingo 27 de diciembre ofreceremos Misa a las 9 AM, 11 AM, 1 PM en español y 5PM en ingles.

Preguntas & respuestas para la temporada de Navidad

en Sacred Heart

What is the overflow plan once the church is full? Once the church is full, the Parish Center will be filled and the Mass will be live streamed in the Parish Center. Communion will be brought into the Parish Center to maintain social distancing. We will have a second 4 PM Mass in the School Gym since this is the most attended Mass. Overflow from the school gym will be in the Multipurpose room where the Mass will be live streamed, as well. When we have reached capacity for all of the spaces we will have to ask you to attend another mass time.

Will there be reserved seats? No, we welcome attendance at the Mass of your choice! When you arrive, you will notice that some seating has been reserved for those helping in ministry roles for that mass. Please plan accordingly and realize that there may not be space in the church depending on the mass you attend and the time you arrive. Historically, the 4 PM Mass is the fullest. Call the office if you can help fill a ministry role!

What Covid Safety protocols will be in place? Masks are required per Bishop Joensen for all persons over 5yrs of age. Each household will be seated together 6 feet away from other households to provide social distancing. Hand sanitizer will be available at all entry doors.

What doors will be open and when can we enter? The N and S Gathering Space doors will be open 45 minutes before the 4 pm Mass and 30 minutes before all other Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Masses. Our normal church entrance doors will be closed to allow for ushers to properly seat each family. The Multipurpose Room door on the west side of the school building will be unlocked 30 minutes before both Masses in the school.

Will Masses be live streamed? We will be live streaming the 4pm English Mass and the 6pm Spanish Mass. We hope to see many of you at Mass, but understand that some parishioners may not be ready to attend in person. The Mass can be viewed on Youtube or Facebook by going to www.sacredheartwdm.org

Where is the best place to park? We are fortunate to have a large parking lot, so please fill ours first! Additional parking may be available at the MercyOne Clinic or Stillwell Jr. High School.

Will there be vocal music prior to Mass? We plan to have piano music prior to mass, but sadly we are unable to have choirs this year.

What are the Christmas weekend Mass times? We will have our normal weekend schedule. 4 PM Mass Saturday December 26th, Sunday December 27th Mass will be offered at 9 AM, 11 AM, 1 PM Spanish and 5 PM English.

When can I receive Reconciliation? Reconciliation is offered each Saturday from 2:30-3:30pm. Additionally, it will be offered each Tuesday leading up to Christmas from 530-630pm in the Parish Center.

What are the Mass times for Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary? We will have a Vigil Mass Thursday, December 31st at 5 PM English and 6:30 PM Spanish. On Friday January 1st, we will have 9 AM English Mass.

Questions & Answers

ACTIVE APOSTLE SHOUT OUT! TJ Boetger

As we prepare for the busy Christmas season, we want to recognize TJ Boetger with Boetger Lawnscapes as an active apostle. TJ donated the materials and decorated all seven of the outdoor planters around the church for the winter season! This is a wonderful gift to the Parish! In addition to the planter

greenery, each year TJ donates boxes of loose greenery that is used around the altar for decor during our Advent and Christmas seasons. TJ, thank you for making Sacred Heart such a warm and welcoming place this winter season! If you have gifts and talents to help with buildings and grounds, please reach out to the staff as spring is right around the corner (we all can dream!). TJ is pictured with his son, Zavier.

Apóstol Activo: TJ Boetger Al prepararnos para una temporada ocupada de Navidad, nos gustaría reconocer a TJ Boetger con Boetger Lawnscapes como un apóstol activo. ¡TJ donó los materiales y decoró las 7 macetas de afuera para la temporada de invierno! ¡Este es un grandioso regalo para la parroquia! Además de los follajes para las macetas de afuera, cada año también dona cajas de follaje cuales usamos para decorar el altar para Adviento y temporada Navideña. TJ, gracias por hacer Sacred Heart un lugar cálido y acogedor esta temporada de invierno! Si usted tiene regalos y talentos para ayudar con los edificios y terrenos, favor de dejarnos saber, ya ven que la primavera está por llegar (o eso podemos soñar!).

Seeking Unreachable Goals By Debbie Chalik

When my daughter was in 1st grade her brother was in 2nd. For most of her life, my daughter’s primary goal was to do everything better that her brother. The truth is that her brother had no idea that they were in competition. When he was 4 and she was 2 ½, we were trying diligently to teach him to tie his shoes. We were under the first-time parent illusion that he was behind in his development. We did not want him to flunk kindergarten. My daughter sat in the corner watching him practice until she figured it out. My son also learned and, much to our delight, he went through kindergarten and passed with flying colors. During my daughter’s 1st grade year, the teacher generously gave her students a fancy pencil for every book the student read. She knew exactly how many books her brother read in 1st grade and she was prepared to read more – no matter what it took. And she did. After watching her grow up, I soon learned that it was not so much that she was competing with her brother. He was the standard to which she set her goals. Now that Advent is over, I find that I am evaluating what I have accomplished in the past 4 weeks. I have read my inspirational books, watched my inspirational videos, and said my prayers faithfully. But what did I really accomplish? I proved to myself that I could do it – no matter how busy my life became. But I learned something even more important. I learned that everything seems better when the standard to which you set your goals is high. What higher goal is there than striving to imitate the holiness of Christ. It’s not easy. In fact it is an unreachable goal. But it is important to remember that the success is in the trying, and I feel good about that. Merry Christmas! CFF Calendar January 6 CFF 13 CFF 20 CFF 27 CFF

Reminder: Please stay tuned for any changes to our schedule after Christmas break!

New Small Group Options Starting in January Sacred Heart has over 7000 parishioners. When you look around do you really know each other? Do you have someone that you look forward to seeing at Mass on the weekends? Do you have people that you can ask to pray for you when times get rough. Who at Sacred Heart celebrates your joys with you and cheers you on?

With the faith-filled support of your small group, you can grow to live a happier, more Christ-like life. THIS is what small groups bring to Sacred Heart. That connection and community that we all need. Small groups make a large parish feel small. New groups are forming for January! To register for a January Small Group and to see the complete listing of January options, please visit https://sacredheartwdm.org/small-groups

January 2021 Small Group Options: 1. Catholic Conversations This 7-8 week small group will view videos and discuss Catholic topics. The January topic will be on the mass. The series will

help members understand and appreciate the mass. It will include videos from Father Mike Schmitz, Dr. Edward Sri and The Veil Removed. Discussion guide provided.

2. The Wild Goose The Wild Goose is for those who want to know more about the Holy Spirit. We will pick 8 of our favorite episodes for your

St. Vincent’s Corner Merry Christmas! Sacred Heart’s St. Vincent de Paul wishes everyone a joyous Christmas.

Sacred Heart’s St Vincent de Paul have several requests on our Christmas list and would like to discuss them during the month of December. While 2020 has been full of challenges, many suffer year round and struggle with numerous challenges.

This week we wish for joy! SVdP strives to help others, help themselves so that we can break the cycle of poverty by empowering those we assist. We have many success stories where temporary assistance was provided to help in times of crisis. We are present to assist others during job loss, layoffs, surgery, health crises, pending disability approval etc. We have provided rent, utility and/or food assistance. Empowering others is the best way to spread joy!

We are certain everyone recalls the Sesame Street song, People in Your Neighborhood and the lyrics, “Well, they’re the people that you meet, when you are walking down the street, they’re the people that you meet each day”. Vincentians meet people in need all the time and it might be the people you see everyday. It could be your waitperson, coffee barista, grocery checker, or a fellow parishioner that can’t pay their rent, or water bill, or power bill or struggle to buy food. Many of those we assist are not unemployed, they are UNDERemployed and often working two jobs. Those that are unemployed are looking for work during this pandemic.

These are the people in your neighborhood, the people that SVdP helps each day!

So on this Christmas, we conclude our Christmas wish list. We humbly thank Sacred Heart Parish for all the support. Without the 5th Sunday Collections, we would have no budget. The support of the Parish Office personnel, the staff at Sacred Heart School, the Women’s Guild and the Knights of Columbus help our ministry throughout the year. We are so grateful for the Sacred Heart community. This Parish brings us pure joy! We hope we can spread the joy of the Christ child to all we encounter. Thank you and have a very Merry Christmas.

San Vicente de Paúl ¡Feliz Navidad! San Vicente de Paúl de Sacred Heart desea a todos una feliz Navidad.

San Vicente de Paúl de Sacred Heart tiene varias solicitudes en nuestra lista de Navidad y me gustaría discutirlas durante el mes de diciembre. Si bien 2020 ha estado lleno de desafíos, muchos sufren durante todo el año y luchan con numerosos desafíos.

¡Esta semana deseamos alegría! SVdP se esfuerza por ayudar a otros, ayudarse a sí mismos para que podamos romper el ciclo de la pobreza empoderando a aquellos a quienes asistimos. Tenemos muchas historias de éxito en las que se proporcionó asistencia temporal para ayudar en tiempos de crisis. Estamos presentes para ayudar a otros durante la pérdida de empleo, despidos, cirugías, crisis de salud, aprobación de discapacidad pendiente, etc. Hemos proporcionado asistencia para alquiler, servicios públicos y / o alimentos. ¡Empoderar a los demás es la mejor manera de difundir la alegría!

Estamos seguros de que todos recuerdan la canción de Barrio Sésamo, People in Your Neighborhood y la letra, "Bueno, son las personas que conoces, cuando caminas por la calle, son las personas que conoces todos los días". Los vicentinos se encuentran con personas necesitadas todo el tiempo y pueden ser las personas que ves todos los días. Podría ser su mesero, barista de café, inspector de comestibles o un parroquiano que no puede pagar el alquiler, la factura del agua, la factura de la luz o tener dificultades para comprar comida. Muchos de los que asistimos no están desempleados, están sub empleados y, a menudo, tienen dos trabajos. Los que están desempleados buscan trabajo durante esta pandemia.

¡Estas son las personas de su vecindario, las personas a las que SVdP ayuda cada día!

Entonces, en esta Navidad, concluimos nuestra lista de deseos navideños. Agradecemos humildemente a la Parroquia de Sacred Heart por todo el apoyo. Sin las Colecciones del Quinto Domingo, no tendríamos presupuesto. El apoyo del personal de la Oficina Parroquial, el personal de la Escuela Sacred Heart, el Gremio de Mujeres y los Caballeros de Colón ayudan a nuestro ministerio durante todo el año. Estamos muy agradecidos por la comunidad del Sacred Heart. ¡Esta parroquia nos trae pura alegría! Esperamos poder difundir el gozo del niño Jesús a todos los que encontremos. Gracias y que tengas una muy Feliz Navidad.
