A Parish
Family That Cares
Who Are We ?
Sacred Heart church is a community of loving believers who appreciate the
wonders of the good Lord's majestic natural creations. People live in this
community because they are drawn to the treasures of mountains, rivers, trees
and other great people. Every effort is made by the people of this community to
make life better for those who need assistance.
Living in the Ozark Mountains we enjoy the beauty of the Current River and
the Mark Twain National Forest which surrounds us. Spectacular springs, cliffs,
forest lands and wildlife constantly remind us of what a wonderful life the Lord
has given us. We know that even here there are many who are challenged with
every hardship of life. As a caring parish family, we tithe on our weekly
donations to help the needy. We follow the admonitions of the Lord by feeding
the hungry, clothing the needy and housing the homeless.
Our Parish Mission Statement:
Sacred Heart Parish is a welcoming Catholic Christian faith community to all
who live in or come to this beautiful part of the Missouri Ozarks. We strive to
live the "Good News" that God is with us and constantly offers His saving grace
and love to us. This is the source of our peace and joy that we share in our
parish family and with the larger community through love and service.
Our Parish Vision Statement:
Our vision is that the people of Sacred Heart Parish will live their faith
in their everyday life experience.
