Dear Sacred Heart Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you today with a heavy heart as we learn about the deteriorating health of our beloved Pope Francis. During this challenging time, it is essential that we come together as a community in prayer and support.
I ask you to join me in praying for Pope Francis so that he may find comfort, strength, and peace. Let us hold him up in our intentions and ask for healing, guidance, and God’s grace to be upon him. His leadership and faith have inspired so many, and now we have the opportunity to support him through our prayers.
Please take a moment to remember him in your personal prayers, and consider uniting your intentions with our parish during our upcoming Masses. Together, let us show our love and solidarity for one of God’s shepherds.
Thank you for your continued faith and devotion.
In Christ’s peace,
Father David
Very Rev. David A. Boettner
