Important update regarding COVID-19 and liturgies at Sacred Heart Monastery
Effective March 6, 2022, we will be welcoming a limited number of guests to our Sunday Masses. Masks are required at all times for guests in the monastery and chapel. We have a number of elder sisters at risk and need to maintain a safe environment.
Note: Weekday Mass calendar and schedule subject to change due to Feasts or Solemnities.
Life here has lured me into listening for the voice of Jesus, the very Heart of Love, within our daily liturgies, in life shared with my Benedictine Sisters, our families, friends and the guests who come to our retreat center.
