Living Our Faith

Prayer Buddies takes place on the first Wednesday of each month.  Students are grouped into multi-aged groupings and participate in a variety of religious based activities.

On the second Wednesday of each month at 6:45 p.m. a Children's Rosary is held in Sacred Heart Church.  A Children's Rosary is simply a rosary led by children.  Sacred Heart students are able to apply for tuition assistance by faithfully attending the rosary.  Click on the link below for our F.A.Q.'s regarding the rosary.

All-School Rosary

Several times over the course of the school year Sacred Heart students pray a rosary together.  

Each Thursday, Sacred Heart Church provides Adoration from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with intentional prayers for the school during the 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. hour. Join us during that time or anytime during those hours. 

Eucharistic Adoration is adoring or honouring the Eucharistic Presence of Christ. In a deeper sense, it involves "the contemplation of the Mystery of Christ truly present before us".
During Eucharistic Adoration, we "watch and wait", we remain "silent" in His Presence and open ourselves to His Graces which flow from the Eucharist ... By worshiping the Eucharistic Jesus, we become what God wants us to be! Like a magnet, The Lord draws us to Himself and gently transforms us.

In its fullest essence ... Eucharistic Adoration is "God and Man reaching out for each other, at the same time!"

The Eucharist is: Jesus truly present - Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity!

Once a year (typically in the Fall) we hold an Anointing Mass in the school gym.  The event is open to any parishioner.

• We hold a toy drive where students can onate items for local children during the holiday season.

• Every Fall our Boone County Catholic Community (Sacred Heart School and Ascension Parish) holds a canned food drive. All grades, PK-8, participate in bringing food items. Students and staff then deliver the items to local food pantries.
• We also hold a hygiene drive during the Winter months to again support our local food pantries.

Each December prior to Christmas break our students put on a Live Nativity in the church.  All are welcome to attend.

Catholic Schools Week is January 28 - February 3rd, 2024
This year’s theme is Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.
 

The Sacrament of the Eucharist usually takes place the first Sunday after Easter.  

Each May (typically the first Friday) we hold Grandparent's Day (or Special Person's Day).  Students invite their grandparents to visit Sacred Heart for the morning.   Typically there is a short music program, refreshments, time to visit classrooms, and the morning ends with an all-school Mass.

Each May we hold a graduation ceremony for our graduating 8th graders.  

They play a positive role for our younger students and we are so blessed to call them part of our Sacred Heart Family.  We look forward to watching the great things they'll do.  Please come back to visit!
