The parish is, first, a people. Simply stated, it is a people called together by God. It is a people empowered by the Spirit to make increasingly true and obvious their response to God through Christ.

Thank you for visiting the Sacred Heart Parish website. I hope your visit to our website will be a blessing as well as informative concerning the ministries of Sacred Heart Parish. It is my honor to serve as the pastor of Sacred Heart Parish, and serve the Lord with a fine group of people. We work together to praise God, grow in our Catholic faith, and evangelize those eager to know and understand more about God. Our prayer is for people to know Jesus as their Savior and become involved in a parish that cares for them. If you seek to know Jesus, then please visit the many ways you can grow in your love of God. We have active organizations that provide something here for everyone, whether you have a special interest in religious education, youth, adult education, Christian Service opportunities and outreach, or social activities. First and foremost, we gather to love and serve God, and love and serve one another. Sacred Heart Parish is a community where all belong in the embrace of Jesus. Regardless of who you are or where you come from, you are welcomed here. Please accept my invitation to pray and grow spiritually. To register, please contact the parish office or fill out our on-line form. The office phone number is (530) 365-8573. Join us as we explore God’s word together through Sunday Mass and Christ-centered faith formation of adults and children. Our world is in need of hope. We have found hope through God’s message of good news and through serving others. Our church supports ministries that bring hope to others. Some are helping the poor among us, as well as those with needs that have a global emphasis. Come and grow in hope with us. We seek to grow in love. Jesus said that the greatest commandments are to love God and to love our neighbor. Our desire is to grow in these important relationships based upon love. We are joyful when we are growing in faith, hope, and love. Please join us on this important journey.
