Welcome to Sacred Heart Catholic Community!

Update - Covid Policies & Guidance
The Diocese of Springfield is following the CDC recommendations regarding masks and social distancing.

1. Vaccinated parishioners do not have to wear masks and can be seated anywhere in the church. 2. We will operate under the honor system; no proof of vaccination will be required.

A Message from the Office of the Bishop:
Aware that the opportunity to participate in Sunday Mass is increasingly available and increasingly safe for our Catholic people, we are joining dioceses in the Boston Province, (Boston, Fall River, Springfield, Manchester, and Portland) in lifting the dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Day Mass obligation.

This obligation does not apply to those who are ill; those who are confined to their homes or to hospitals or other facilities due to illness, infirmity, frailty, or age; and those who are not yet able to be vaccinated, due to age or any health consideration.

To all of those who have not been able to be with us during this last year, we look forward to welcoming you back to the celebration of the Mass. Thank you, and God bless you.

+ Most Reverend William D. Byrne, Bishop of Springfield

Sacred Heart Parish is also looking for people who are willing to spend time with homebound parishioners who are lonely, elderly, suffering, or sick. You don’t need to have a professional background, but you do need a willingness to listen, be empathetic, and offer reassurance that our community has not forgotten them. Sacred Heart will train you to visit these people in their home, in the hospital or in a nursing home and take them the
Eucharist (if they desire that) Call the rectory at(413)443-6960

E-Mail Address: Today more than ever, it is important to strengthen our communication within our parish. On-line and digital engagement provides us a wonderful opportunity to provide on-going, timely and important communications. Please help us develop a stronger connection to you, by simply submitting your e-mail address to: pinkchurch@aol.com.

Prayer Line: We are in need of people to pray for our prayer line intentions. This is so
easy to do, and perfect for this time of isolation. We have a prayer line every week or so.
You can receive a list either by phone or e-mail, of the first names and their prayer
request. All we ask is that you pray for these people and their intentions. If interested,
please call Nancy McGill at (413)443-6942 or e-mail nancyvgm904@gmail.com.
