Welcome!

Welcome to our website – a growing resource for people in the parish of Sacred Heart Hillsborough and beyond.

“Through spiritual renewal and social action, we can develop a keener and more vivid awareness that human fulfilment cannot ultimately be found in isolation from the fulfilment of others. We will see more clearly the truth that we are bound together in this world as one family, brothers and sisters.”
Cardinal Basil Hume

A bit about our parish…

One of our notable strengths in Hillsborough is the parish covenant with the Poor, with its commitment to justice and peace through wealth-sharing, campaigning, and praying for the people of the world. This is most important to us, a fundamental characteristic of ourselves as a whole parish.
Another of our strengths is the network of churches to which we belong – Anglican, Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist, and Congregational. We pick up from each other a strong sense of faith and energy, and learn together to value what God has given us to pass on to others.

The Sacred heart Art Craft and Hobbies Fair held June 2011

Thank you to everyone who came and made the weekend the great community celebration it was. And thank you to all those who planned, painted, sewed, cooked, baked, carried, served and helped in any way – we couldn’t have done it without you. The weekend was about our parish opening its doors to the wider community and sharing our wealth of talent and enthusiasm. But it was also an opportunity to raise much-needed funds for the work of CAFOD’s new initiative connect2 and Carmel Care Centre. Over £600 will be divided between these 2 causes.
