Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Happy 5th Sunday of Lent – and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! (I hope you remember that St. Patrick drove out the snakes in Ireland – with a 5 iron!)
The following prayer is attributed to St. Patrick. I think it’s a good prayer for Lent. Is Christ at the center of all I do and am?
“Christ be with me, Christ within me
Christ behind me, Christ before me
Christ beside me, Christ to win me
Christ to comfort me and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger
Christ in hearts of all that love me
Christ in mouth of friend or stranger.”Next Sunday we enter into Holy Week. For the 9 AM Mass, please gather in the McCann Center for the procession with palms. And please wear red next weekend.
Effective April 12th, I want to wish Ann Ratliff – business manager and administrative assistant extraordinaire for the past 30 years – a happy retirement. We are looking for a new business manager and administrative assistant. Please see the announcement elsewhere in the bulletin. And please join us in offering her good wishes and congratulations at a reception following the 9 AM Mass on Sunday, April 14th. I am thankful for the ministry and service Ann has provided!
RICE BOWL CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: 25 cents for every phone and other electronic devices in your home!
Wishing you a Blessed and great 4th week of Lent! Please know of my love and prayers for you!

Welcome to the website of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, located in Newton, Iowa.
This is a Roman Catholic Church in the Diocese of Davenport. The church is located at 1115 South 8th Avenue East, in the southeast quadrant of Newton.
Sacred Heart is a vibrant Catholic Community, living its Eucharistic faith in the risen Jesus, proclaimed in word and deed, celebrated in worship and sacrament, and shared in outreach to the parish community, to the diocesan and universal church, and to the wider secular community.
Our social center, staff offices, and administrative offices are housed in the McCann Center, dedicated in 1969 to the memory of the Rev. Msgr. Thomas J. McCann, who served as pastor here from 1910-1960.
The church was dedicated in 1976 and was renovated in 2005, when a courtyard was enclosed to create a gathering space at the entrance to the church. This project included a new sacristy, a day chapel, and the creation of handicapped accessible restrooms. The key element of this construction is the addition of a flowing water baptistry, which also serves as our holy water font.
Please spend some time browsing our website, but more importantly, come and visit us in person and join us in the celebration of the holy Eucharist. May God bless you this day and always.
