Sacred Heart of Jesus, Canonsburg is taking an official Parish Census for the year of 2010 to update our Parish records and we need your support. Last Sunday, Jan, 2nd, 2010, after Mass the new census form was distributed and completed to those present. In order to have accurate and complete address, contact and sacramental information on all parish members (and identify non-members for invitation), we can only accomplish this with updated information. All information is held as confidential in the parish office once submitted for administrative and/or sacramental purposes only.

If you require a form or have questions, please call the parish rectory at 724.745.9139 or email sacredheartpncc@comcast.net for assistance.

At Sunday October 11th, the PNCC celebrated Solemnity of the Christian Family and Sacred Heart used the opportunity to invite many of our friends and family to celebrate Mass with us at Sacred Heart Church. We had a tremendous turn out and thank all of those who invited guests, pitched in with food and/or made the liturgy a beautiful worship experience.   Friendship Sunday turned out to be an opportunity to reconnect with former, and connect new friends as well as participate in a Special Liturgy. 

The liturgy included a special Sermon offered by Fr. Phil Lavery who inspired us with an uplifting and reflective Sermon and beautiful music by the Echo Choir.   The Parish sponsored a coffee Hour in our Guest’s honor which consisted of several types of home made Quiche, Polish Sausage casserole, spinach and walnut salad, cakes, crumb cakes, jello, coffee, tea and many other treats.  It was a great way for many to feel welcomed back with no questions asked or others to check out the new Parish Administration. 

Come and visit us again – all are welcome anytime – our doors are open to all who want to know the Lord!
