A Place for Young Hearts
At Sacred Heart Church, we believe that the youth are the heart of our community. We strive to provide a supportive space where they can grow in faith, form lasting friendships, and make a positive impact.
Why faith matters as you grow
Faith is your guide as you transition into young adulthood, offering strength, hope, and purpose. At Sacred Heart Church, we encourage you to speak up, share ideas, and take an active role in our parish.
This is your time to lead, inspire, and make a difference—not just in the church, but in the world. Let your faith shine through your actions and help shape our community with Christ’s love.

Inspiration from Carlo Acutis
Meet Carlo Acutis, the young boy who became a Saint. Carlo was an ordinary teenager with an extraordinary love for the Eucharist and a passion for technology. He used his skills to create a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles around the world, showing how faith and modern life can go hand in hand. Carlo's dedication to God and his innovative spirit remind us that anyone, at any age, has the power to make significant changes in the world. His life is a testament to the fact that holiness is within reach for all of us, and his story inspires us to live our faith boldly and creatively.
“I die happy because I didn't spend any minutes of my life in things God doesn't love”
— Carlo Acutis
