Sacred Heart Hospitality Ministry
Helping You .  .  .   Helping Me

The “Sacred Heart Hospitality Ministry” comprises of volunteers of the Parish under the guidance and leadership of our Pastor, Fr. Anselm Russell.  The main goal of this ministry is to provide support to those Parishioners who are lonely and need someone to talk to, or just to visit with them. Visits can be scheduled weekly, biweekly or as often as the need arises. So if you require a visit, or know of a Parishioner who may benefit from this type of support, please contact the Parish Office to schedule a visit.

We are one in the Spirit, We are one in the Lord . . . 

 IT"S HERE! According to weather officials it will be a near-to-normal season with 9 to 15 named storms predicted,  of which 2 to 4 could become major hurricanes.  That however does not mean that we should get comfortable and lax.  Hurricane preparedness is key to ensuring that both you and your loved ones remain safe and protected during a storm, with adequate food and water along with all other necessary items to survive.  

Please make your checklists, stockpile your cupboards with required items and chart out a plan in the event evacuation becomes necessary.  We encourage you to follow all instructions given by NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency) who oversees disaster management and preparedness for the entire Bahamas.

Be prepared and safe!
