One Heart One Soul Campaign - KICKOFF:
This weekend marks the Kick-off for Sacred Heart Parish campaign. For 90 years, Sacred Heart Parish has played a significant role in the Guelph community and in the lives of its parishioners. Our pride in what our Catholic ancestors built and left us inspires us to leave for the next generation a parish community for which they can feel equally blessed.
Today, this inspiration moves us to continue to build upon our faith foundation, to help bring others to Christ. That journey includes uniting to maintain and improve our spiritual home, even as we face the challenges of COVID-19. For more information click here
