I wish to thank all the Sacred Heart parishioners who so generously gave their time and money to the Family Promise Ministry in 2019.  Many of you volunteered to be evening hosts, meal providers, and overnight hosts.  Even more of you made very generous donations.  Family Promise is most grateful and so am I.  We are pleased to tell you that your donations enabled us to purchase much-needed clothing and shoes for the families staying at the Family Promise House over the Christmas season. It was truly a great Christmas this year at Family Promise. 
 
I received several lovely thank you notes from the recipients and from Family Promise which are posted here on the Sacred Heart  Family Promise website page.
 
Once again, it will soon be our time to serve at the Family Promise Home. We hope we may continue to depend on you for help in 2020.

As you know, Sacred Heart Parish has proudly been an integral part of the Family Promise of Moore County Program for many years.  Family Promise of Moore County, located at 400 Saunders Boulevard, Aberdeen, is a nonprofit agency dedicated to alleviating homelessness in Moore County.  Assistance is provided in partnership with local religious congregations and organizations, a Board of Trustees, and staff.  They are a 16-bed homeless shelter providing services to women and their families.

Sacred Heart supports the program with funds and with volunteers.  Our Parish will be hosting once again at the Family Promise house from February 17-February 20.   We hope that you will be able to assist us on one of these dates as:

(2) Overnight Hosts: 8:00 p.m.–7:00 a.m.
