July 11, 2026 – Pastor Update
The evaluations regarding the structural review of the Sacred Heart Mission building are coming together. The engineers have been very thorough, with testing of the wood holding up the roof, as well as stress testing the masonry walls and the anchorage holding up the brick. We hope to have the completed reports by the end of July. We asked continued patience as we wait for the process to be completed.
Please note that at this time and for the foreseeable future, until it is determined what the next steps will be, I can not approve any gatherings or prayer services on the Mission property. Therefore, there will be no meetings or services of any kind permitted on the grounds. I deeply appreciate your cooperation, understanding, and ongoing prayers.
Sacred Heart Mission is part of Our Lady of Kibeho Parish. Masses are relocated to Holy Name of Mary Church at Our Lady of Kibeho Parish. Mass is offered at 4pm on Saturday and 10am on Sunday. Weekday mass takes place in the chapel of the convent building at 9am on Monday and Wednesday. All are welcome.
Be blessed,
Fr. Bob Gilbert
