Welcome back to the Sacred Heart Church and the MSC Missions Office!

We are delighted to be able to open our doors once again, and welcome old friends and new safely back to the Sacred Heart Church and the MSC Missions Office on the Western Road in Cork.

After a long period of restrictions and closures, it is with great joy that we see the return of familiar faces and greet new acquaintances here on the Western Road.

Last Monday, May 10th, saw a return to worship in the Sacred Heart Church and churches all over the country, while our MSC Missions Office was permitted to re-open a week later, on May 17th. Our first caller was at the door at 9.00am, to collect her Blue Book of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, and Fr Michael and Anne were waiting with a warm welcome!

The Sacred Heart Church remains open for Masses and daily prayer, and the MSC Missions Office is open daily from 9.00am to 4.50pm.

We are also operating as usual online, where you can participate in our daily Masses, or choose from a selection of Mass cards, Mass enrolment books, and special gifts to be delivered straight to your door.

With every blessing and best wishes to shops, businesses, and services who are re-opening across the country. May this be the beginning of a time of new hope for us all. Take care and stay safe as we enjoy venturing out once again!

Christmas Blessings: The Holy Family Entrustment Book

This Christmas, give the great gift of prayer with a Holy Family Entrustment Book from the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.

Every year, we see piles of presents stack up under Christmas trees in homes across the country – and all too often, well-meant gifts are put aside and forgotten about in the excitement of the festive season, and are left to gather dust in the back of a cupboard or under a bed.

This year, why not give a gift that will last long after the crackers have been pulled and the decorations boxed away for another year? The Holy Family Entrustment Book is a wonderful way to remind loved ones they’re in your thoughts at Christmas, and throughout the year.
