Welcome to Our Church
Sacred Heart Catholic Church is a place of prayer and reverence, dedicated to the worship of Almighty God and the salvation of souls.
Here the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered in the traditional Latin rite, preserving the sacred worship and devotional life handed down through the centuries.
Visitors and families are warmly invited to join us for Sunday Mass. For more information about our clergy and the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen, visit cmri.org.
About Our Clergy
Sacred Heart Catholic Church is served by priests of the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (CMRI).
The Congregatio Mariae Reginae Immaculatae (CMRI) is a traditional Catholic religious congregation of priests, brothers, and sisters. Its members are dedicated to preserving the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the traditional Catholic Faith, and the spiritual formation of souls.
Through its clergy, religious communities, schools, and missions, the congregation continues its apostolate in the United States and abroad. Sacred Heart is privileged to be served by Fr. Stephen Sandquist, CMRI, who offers Sunday Mass here in Holton.
To learn more about the congregation, its clergy, and its apostolates, visit CMRI.org.
For Newcomers
Information for those visiting Sacred Heart Catholic Church for the first time.
The clergy and parishioners of Sacred Heart Catholic Church adhere firmly to the unchangeable Catholic Faith as taught by all true Popes, from St. Peter to Pope Pius XII. Because of our faithfulness to the Catholic Church of the ages, we reject the Modernist church of Vatican II with all its teachings, liturgical rites, and disciplines. We recognize that John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis are illegitimate usurpers of the papal office and we believe that there is currently no Pope reigning in the Catholic Church (sede vacante).
Please see the Theological Position of the CMRI for an understanding of the present crisis in the Church, and how we can preserve the true Catholic Faith in these troubling times.
To Receive Holy Communion, One Must Be:
- A baptized Catholic free from any mortal sin committed since one’s last Confession
- Fasting for three hours from any food and/or alcoholic beverage
- Fasting for one hour from any other beverage except water
