As of Friday, September 2, the “Day Chapel” (the chapel on the north side of the church, “behind” the Main Church) has been renamed the “Sacred Heart Chapel”.

 After the tornado of 2006, which destroyed the old St. Patrick’s church, a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was found in the rubble with its arms and hands damaged. It has since become a striking symbol of our call to participate as the hands and arms of Jesus Christ in this world. The statue will feature prominently in the Sacred Heart Chapel to point us to the love of God made manifest through the exposed heart of Jesus Christ. The hope is that renaming the chapel will help foster the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
