Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is for those who are sick and aging. It is a sacred moment when we pray for God’s grace to strengthen someone who is suffering from any form of illness.
Please contact the Sacred Heart Parish Office at 940.759.2500 for individual anointings.
Baptism
According to Fort Worth diocesan guidelines, baptismal preparation is required for parents requesting baptism for their children, and strongly encouraged for godparents/sponsors.

Holy Matrimony
Sacred Scripture begins with the creation and union of man and woman and ends with “the wedding feast of the Lamb” (Rev 19:7-9). Scripture often refers to marriage, its origin and purpose, the meaning God gave to it, and its renewal in the covenant made by Jesus with his Church. Man and woman were created for each other. By their marriage, the couple witnesses Christ’s spousal love for the Church. The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant, which is more than a contract. The marriage covenant refers to the relationship between the husband and wife, a permanent union of persons capable of knowing and loving each other and God. The celebration of marriage is also a liturgical act, appropriately held in a public liturgy at church. Catholics are urged to celebrate their marriage within the Eucharistic Liturgy. (Ref: USCCA)
SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
For marriage prep information, please contact the Sacred Heart Pastor approximately 9-12 months prior to your anticipated wedding date. Please note that wedding dates are not established until preparation has begun.
