Sacred Heart Catholic Church announced that since the annual parish picnic has been canceled this year due to the coronavirus, ticket packages for the $5,000 grand-prize raffle drawing have been mailed to parishioners.

If you have not received your tickets and/or you need additional tickets, contact the parish office at 610-837-7874.

The income from the grand-prize drawing will be the only picnic-related income the parish will receive. Please do all you can to promote the sale of these tickets.

With your support and cooperation, it is hoped this can be the most profitable picnic effort ever.
