Sacred Heart Parish assists St. Joseph Cathedral Social Ministry with its Lenten Program. Parishioners, youth, and students in our parish school and catechetical programs are invited to contribute to our annual bus token drive. Our Lenten offerings assist the Cathedral Social Ministry Office in providing bus tokens to those in need so that they can get to job interviews and to medical appointments.
In 2005, our parish contributed $5,461 to the Cathedral Social Ministry for bus tokens. An additonal $5,347 was contributed at the Confirmation Mass, hosted by Sacred Heart for Sacred Heart, St. Lucy's, and St. Mary's Parishes.
St. Joseph Cathedral Social Ministry provides services to the homeless and those in need in our community. The Office of Social Ministry offers valuable resources such as emergency food, shelter, job opportunities, medical services and above all, hope.
