Pastor's Corner

Welcome to our web site. My name is Father Michael Bazan and I am the Pastor of this Parish Community we call Sacred Heart.

As a Catholic Community of Faith, we at Sacred Heart, strive to be a loving and compassionate Community that reaches out in faith through our Liturgies, Catechesis, Prayer and Material Goods to respond to our local community and the rest of the world. We strive to enable each member to grow in their relationship with God in a supportive community environment that helps each member realize that God loves them and cares about them. This Community is growing yet it still maintains an atmosphere in which its members cherish the time they spend with each other and many friendships have developed and continue to develop as new members participate in the various activities. We hope that this website will continue to develop as an important means of communication within the community and help us to maintain the intimacy that is so important to the spiritual and physical well being of a Parish Community.
