Stations of the Cross

by Saint Alphonsus

ANIMA CHRISTI

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O Good Jesus, hear me.
Within your Wounds hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from you.
From the wicked foe, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me
and bid me come to you
That with your saints I may praise you
For ever and ever.
Amen.
-St. Ignatius of Loyola

Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

As we celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we want to remember the community of Sacred Heart Parish from its beginning to the present day.  The Sacred Heart Parish community was first established in Edson in 1912 and over the last 110 years, the community has grown and changed in many ways.

Church records show home baptisms, performed by traveling pastors, as early as 1911.  The first church building was built around 1920 on the current site.  This building was replaced by a larger structure in 1953 under the direction of the Redemptorists and the parish community.  The present church was completed in the year 2000 and blessed by Archbishop Smith.

As we thank Jesus for his gift on His Most Sacred Heart on this our parish feast day, we also want to thank the bishops, pastors, pastoral assistants, CWL, Knights of Columbus, volunteers and all parishioners who have built this community through Eucharistic celebrations, prayer, hard work and material contributions.

We offer special prayers to the bishops, pastors and parishioners who have gone before us in thanksgiving for their many contributions to the founding, building and supporting the community of Sacred Heart Parish, Edson.

 May the Sacred Heart of Jesus bless all of us!
