A tranquil place for prayer, the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish serves as a refuge for faithfuls who are looking for a place to pray. After 64 years, the parish was able to complete its pastoral ministry and care starting with Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Marriage, and Funeral.
