May-Month of Mary
As the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary has a unique position among the saints, indeed, among all creatures. She is exalted, yet still one of us.
Redeemed by reason of the merits of her Son and united to Him by a close and indissoluble tie, she is endowed with the high office and dignity of being the Mother of the Son of God, by which account she is also the beloved daughter of the Father and the temple of the Holy Spirit. Because of this gift of sublime grace she far surpasses all creatures, both in heaven and on earth. At the same time, however, because she belongs to the offspring of Adam she is one with all those who are to be saved. (Lumen Gentium, no. 53)
Mary embraces God's will and freely chooses to cooperate with God's grace, thereby fulfilling a crucial role in God's plan of salvation. Throughout the centuries, the Church has turned to the Blessed Virgin in order to come closer to Christ. Many forms of piety toward the Mother of God developed that help bring us closer to her Son. In these devotions to Mary, "while the Mother is honored, the Son, through whom all things have their being and in whom it has pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell, is rightly known, loved and glorified and . . . all His commands are observed." The Church honors her as the Mother of God, looks to her as a model of perfect discipleship, and asks for her prayers to God on our behalf.

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen

Updated Letter - May 20, 2020
Dear Parishioners,
Sacred Heart is pleased to announce that distribution of the Blessed Sacrament will be held each Sunday from 11am-12pm beginning the weekend of Pentecost, May 31st. Guidelines for the distribution of Holy Communion are listed below. We are happy to welcome you back to the parish in this limited but powerful way. See you soon!
Holy Communion Distribution to Begin
On Pentecost Sunday, May 31, we will undertake the first steps towards returning to public celebrations of the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass. Despite the recent ruling from the Wisconsin Supreme Court, a gradual approach to re-opening must be undertaken for the health and safety of our parishioners; especially those who are elderly or more susceptible to the deadly COVID-19 virus.
The following guidelines are mandatory, but may be modified in the coming weeks by Bishop David Ricken. The first step to re-opening will simply involve streaming people through the church for the reception of Holy Communion.
* Parishioners who are able are strongly encouraged to participate spiritually at Mass by means of Facebook, television, or radio. Praying along with a Mass is to be done, if possible, just before Holy Communion.
* At 11am the Catholic faithful who are in a state of grace and have fasted for one hour will be able to come through the church and receive Holy Communion. There will be one-hour allotted for this spiritual activity each Sunday. In an effort to help limit the amount of time that you may have to wait in line to enter the Church, we are making the suggestion that from 11-11:30am those with last names beginning with A-K attend and from 11:30-12 those with last names beginning with L-Z attend. Confession is available each Sunday from 7:15am-7:45am or by appointment.
* It is important to remember that no Catholic is required to receive Holy Communion during the pandemic. This permission is for those who desire to receive Holy Communion and can safely do so. The dispensation from attending Sunday Mass remains in effect during this first stage.
* When the church is open for Holy Communion, people will enter wearing a mask. A temperature will be taken. Only nine people will be allowed in the church at a time. They will be spaced out 6 feet, and/or grouped by family. You will be standing in the aisle during the distribution of Holy Communion.
* Anyone over 65 years of age should consider waiting until a future time. Anyone with cough or flu-like symptoms should remain home, and may not be admitted if they are causing concern to others. Hand sanitizer will be available as you enter the church.
* A group prayer will be said when ten people are in the church, then Holy Communion will be offered by the priest. The process will be repeated for one hour. Personal prayer must be done outside after reception of Holy Communion so other people can enter. We recognize that this is not an ideal solution, but it will allow us to remain closer to our Lord through the effects of the Mass and Holy Communion.
Weekday Masses to Resume
Beginning Wednesday, June 3rd, we will be celebrating weekday Masses. Our weekday Mass Schedule will be Wednesday and Friday at 9am. We are asking you to call the parish office at 920-596-3323 to register to attend weekday Mass. When eight people have registered for a Mass, registration will be closed and you can sign up for the next weekday Mass. This is not an ideal situation but will allow for a fair opportunity for those wishing to celebrate Mass during the week.
Gratefully,
Fr. Matthew

Awareity Incident REporting
The Diocese of Green Bay Office of Safe Environment has implemented a
web-based incident reporting tool called Awareity. Awareity is a comprehensive platform for reporting,
tracking, and documenting incidents and concerns. Awareity empowers program leaders, staff,
neighbors, visitors, and all other community members to be heard and to safely report warning signs
and trouble. The goal of Awareity is prevention and to help identify red flags and warning signs before
an incident occurs or escalates. Should you have an incident you want to report, click on the link below and then click on the green butterfly.
