Knights of Columbus
The Sacred Heart Council was initiated in the parish in March of 1993.

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic, family, fraternal and service organization that was founded by Father Michael J. McGivney, curate at Saint Mary's Parish in New Haven, Connecticut, on March 29, 1882.

The name of the organization was chosen by the founder because he felt that as a Catholic group, it should relate to Christopher Columbus, the Catholic discoverer of America.  at the same time, "Knights" would signify that the membership embodied knightly ideals of spirituality and service to church, country and fellowman.

The "Knights" are dedicated to providing personnel and financial assistance to both the parish and the Massachusetts State Council charitable needs.  All of our revenues are obtained by our fund raising activities, which include:  annual concert, raffles, pancake breakfast, pasta supper, meat raffle and the Tootsie Roll drive.

Proceeds of our Tootsie Roll drive are used to help the mentally and physically handicapped children in communities throughout the state, hearing aids to a needy child, close captioned TV set for a hearing impaired child.  We plan to continue these activities and hope to expand to many others with the support of our parish families.

     The Senior Officers for the year 2007-2008 are:

                          Grand Knight            Paul Alconada
                Deputy Grant Knight           Peter Dossett

Our Lady Sodality
     Sodalities of Our Lady are religious associations approved by the Holy See.  They organize Catholics under Our Lady's name and cultivate in them a deep devotedness, reverence, and filial love for the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Under the patronage of the Mother of God, Sodalities of our Lady aim at making their members outstanding Catholics who give themselves wholeheartedly to sanctifying themselves in their own states of life, to sanctify others and to defend the Church of Jesus Christ against the attacks of their enemies.
     At Sacred Heart Parish, the works of a sodalist have been diversified over the past sixty years.  We have visited the sick in their homes, hospitals and nursing homes.  In addition, Sodalists have dedicated many hours maintaining our church, transporting those in need and providing collations for many parish functions.
     In our effort to live in our sodality's call to sanctification, we gather several times throughout the year.  with Christ at our center through His Holy Mother, we begin all meetings with Holy Mass.  We gather after Holy Mass for a brief business meeting.  Following the close of business, a guest speaker usually addresses our group, and we then proceed to refreshments.  Currently, there are about ninety sodalists at Sacred Heart Parish.
