Sacred Heart is excited to announce the release of our own parish app. This new app will be available for parishioners to download on both Apple iPhones and Android phones.
We expect the features and capabilities of our new app to foster a stronger sense of community and faith in the daily lives of all parishioners. Sacred Heart will be able to communicate quick and easy with all parishioners via messages and notifications to keep you in the loop with what is going on in our church. You will then be able to quickly reply to messages or RSVP for upcoming events.
Other features will include:
– the daily readings read at Mass
– the latest Catholic news from around the world
– an easy-to-reference list of Catholic prayers with prayer requests
– a helpful examination of conscience and next confession reminder
– a reminder feature called “Mass Mode,” for Mass and confession
– and much more
As you can see, this app offers a lot of capabilities for improving parish communication and serving as a faith building resource. It is well thought out and should become a real asset to complement our daily faith lives.
To download our parish App:
Simply text App to phone number 88202, or visit myparishapp.com
