What is Christian Charities?
Sacred Heart of Jesus Christian Charities Committee provides parish-wide opportunities to live the corporal works of mercy (Matthew 25:35-46):
Feed the hungry
Clothe the naked
Shelter the homeless
Water to the thirsty
Visit the sick & imprisoned
Bury the dead
We serve our parishioners and local residents by providing assistance to those in need.
As missionary disciples sowing seeds of God’s love, Christian Charities is focused on community involvement through donations, service, and relationships.

From November 9th through December 6th, non-perishable donations can be dropped off in the hallway of the Parish Life Center. Donation bags for collection will be available starting November 2nd at the information desk located in the narthex.
It is not necessary to buy every item on the list to participate.

On December 7th Christmas basket recipients will receive a voucher for a turkey and fresh fruit. If you would like to support needy families, you can contribute by making a payment to Sacred Heart and writing Christian Charities in the memo line.

SIGN UP HERE | We are looking for groups of volunteers (entire families, couples, groups of friends, etc.) to help deliver the Christmas Baskets. We highly encourage that each needy family be visited by a group of parishioners. More than simply dropping off a basket of food, we want to create an experience of hospitality and Christian charity. Groups are encouraged to visit, pray with and hand deliver the Christmas Baskets on Saturday morning, December 7th.
If you are interested in serving in this way, volunteers will gather at 8:00AM in the Parish Life Center (PLC) for prayer, instruction, and preparation. Please pre-register.
-
We are accepting applications for the Christmas Food Baskets until December 1st. If you know someone in need within the Broussard community, have them visit us at the parish office Monday through Thursday between the hours of 10:00AM to 12:00PM and 1:00PM to 3:00PM. Requests must be made in person at the parish office with a valid photo I.D.
