You are invited!

Come to Mass! 

Come, children, to Mass, 
and bring your merry hearts with you.

Come, you that are young and happy, 
and rejoice before the Lord. 

Come, you that are old and weary, 
and tell your loneliness to God. 

Come, you that are sorely tempted, 
and ask the help of heaven. 

Come, you that have sinned, and
weep between the porch and the altar. 

Come, you that are bereaved, 
and pour out here your tears. 

Come, you that are sick, or anxious, 
or unhappy, and complain to God. 

Come, you that are prosperous 
and successful, and give thanks. 

Christ will sympathize with you. 
He will rejoice with you and 
He will mourn with you. 
He will gather up your prayers. 
He will join to them His own 
almighty supplications.

That concert of prayer 
shall enter heaven, 
louder than the music 
of angelic choirs, 
sweeter than the voice of those 
who sing the song 
of Moses and the Lamb, 
more piercing than the cry 
of the living creatures
who rest not day or night, 
and more powerful and prevailing 
than the intercession 
of the Blessed Virgin 
and all the Saints 
of paradise together.

(Thanks to Fr. Lasance)

If you are without a church

If you or your family are without a church (for whatever reason) and you need the comfort, counsel, and Sacraments of a priest, please contact Bishop Judd or Bishop Sansone.  We are here for you!

Please have your children baptized and confirmed, and provide them with the security of a faith community.

Contact us.  We are friendly!

If you have a calling

We are always eager to meet brothers and sisters with a strong desire to build for the honor and glory of God. 

If you have a church and no clergy or you would like to start a new church, we will respond to your call.  Contact us.

Of course, if God is calling you to serve as a priest, brother or sister, take a step forward and act.  Contact us.

Female clergy

Clergy are selected by their individual suitability and the validity of their vocation — not their gender. 

If you are a woman and you believe you are called to the priesthood, take a step forward! Contact us to begin exploring your vocation and preparation for the priesthood.

Social ministry

Heartland clergy and lay, as participants in the Royal Priesthood of Christ, administer specialized ministries, missions, and parishes. 

We strongly believe in social mission and strive to provide human service and educational programs such as counseling, advocacy and referral, retreats, meditation and twelve-step spiritual growth workshops, food and clothing distribution.

The 7 corporal works of mercy:

Feed the hungry.
Give drink to the thirsty.
Clothe the naked.
Visit the sick.
Harbor the harborless.
Visit and ransom captives.
Bury the dead.
