We attended the dedication of the new church building November 23, 2008. In the photo on the right the Knights of Columbus form an honor guard for the bishop. An artist from Orlando created the mosaic above the altar portraying Christ with the sacred heart. During Hurricane Charley four years ago the church imploded for a total loss. “… And inside the church, he found a candle still burning. It was inside the tabernacle, protected from the wind1.” The church motto is “It’s not the building…it’s the people.” Everyone wears name tags.
Sacred Heart’s pastor, Father Jerry, given three months to live ten years ago, leads the church in a positive and loving relationship with Christ and each other. He is forceful, dynamic and personable. He speaks his mind as he relates the gospel to our modern life. Little children come to the altar to participate in the benediction. We like attending this church.2
