As you are probably aware, the CDC and the Archdiocese of Detroit have recently changed COVID-19 protocols.  See the interim update below and check back for future revisions.  You will find the complete update, issued on May 19th, by the Archdiocese of Detroit here. 

First Thoughts

1. The church building will be opened about 30 minutes before each scheduled Mass.
2. Weekday Masses are celebrated on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 a.m.  When Sacred Heart Catholic School students and staff are present, weekday Masses will not be public Masses.  
3. Weekend Masses are celebrated on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.; Sunday at 7:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m., and 11:30 a.m.
4. The dispensation from the Sunday obligation to attend Mass for all the faithful in the Archdiocese of Detroit ended on March 13, 2021.  At that time, particular dispensations went into effect for individuals in a number of situations.  You will find information on particular dispensations here.  Anyone who is ill, has a temperature, cough or other symptoms of COVID-19 should definitely stay home as an act of justice to the whole community.

1. Those who are fully vaccinated may wear a face mask and social distance but are no longer required to do so.
2. Those who have not been fully vaccinated are to continue wearing a face mask and to practice social distancing to protect themselves and others.  Because a parish community--and our society--requires mutual trust and a commitment to the common good, individuals are asked to make the best decisions for themselves as well as for others.  Parishes do not have the responsibility to verify who is and who is not vaccinated.  
3. Anyone may, of course, wear a mask at any or all times.
4. The main section of seating on the east side of the church will continue with every other pew closed and masks required for those who wish to maintain those protocols.

1. The Guardian, our parish bulletin, will be available at the entrances.  Take a copy to your pew.  It will contain music and the readings for Mass.  
2. The offertory collection as we've known it before COVID will “be taken up” again beginning in June.  Your financial support is essential for the fiscal well-being of our Sacred Heart community.  You may also consider electronic offerings or giving by www.shparish.aodcsa.org or drop your envelopes in the mail slot at the parish office building.

1. Communion will be distributed at the center aisle and at the side aisle.  
2. For the forseeable future, the Blood of Christ will not be offered.
3. Use hand sanitizer before stepping into the Communion procession.

1. Thank you for your patience and support.
2. Please check back here regularly for changes and updates.

We're observing the following at Sacred Heart Parish and School:

1. For routine parish matters, please call or email the parish office or a member of the staff directly.  For matters to be taken care of in person, please call the parish office to make arrangements. 
2. For baptisms, weddings, and funerals, please follow the usual procedures for inquiry, scheduling and planning. 
3. The sacrament of penance is offered on Saturdays, from 3:00 p.m., until 4:00 p.m., in the parish museum in order to provide a safer environment.  Enter by the main doors of the parish hall; the parish museum is down the hall to your left.  
4. For the sacrament of anointing of the sick, please call the parish office to make an appointment.   
5. Your financial support of Sacred Heart is crucial to our ability to meet our financial responsibilities.  There is information elsewhere on this page describing ways to continue your financial support.  To all those who have mailed or dropped off their offertory envelopes, given by way of shparish.aodcsa.org, or  signed up for our automatic electronic giving program, a heartfelt thank you.
