Sacred Heart Repository

Depending on the support we receive, this will grow into something a bit bigger! Please contact Coral at the Parish Office if you would like to see more. 01392 642389
GIFT AID DONORS
You should soon receive an individual statement of how much you gave to Sacred Heart parish in the last financial year, so that you can check that you have paid enough tax to cover the gift aid amount that the parish will claim. This statement will go to the address that is currently held by the gift aid organiser. If you are expecting a letter but do not receive one please contact Anne at exeter-sacredheart-giftaid@prcdtr.org.uk or the parish office.
If you don’t already Gift Aid, please consider whether you could increase the value of your donations by signing up for Gift Aid - The parish can claim 25% of any donation you make if you sign a Gift Aid declaration form as long as you are a UK tax payer [you do not have to be British].
Coat Rails Needed!
Our Vintage and Table Top sale will be held on 26 October 2025 in then lower room. We are looking for Coat Rails to borrow,. If you are able to assist please contact Coral in the office.
Your Parish Needs You!
Fr Petroc has put up a display at the back of the church for volunteers. Please can you consider helping. It is wonderful to be met by a smiling face on entering the church. To be able to proclaim the Word of the Lord is an honour and a blessing. The Sacristan has a very important role to play in preparing the Altar for Mass. Our church building is always so beautiful and clean because of The Holy Dusters. These are very important ministries and works.
If you are able to assist please contact Coral on the office number, or speak to her personally.

Are you looking for First Holy Communion or Confirmation for your Children?
Our family Growing In Faith Together (GIFT) sessions are the gateway to the Sacraments. GIFT is a process which prepares you as a family to receive the Sacraments and deepen your relationship with Jesus. The GIFT sessions are a time when we can learn about our faith together as a family. The GIFT team is dedicated to sharing the importance of family worship and growth. If your family is not yet a part of these wonderful sessions, please contact Coral at the Sacred Heart parish office or visit the Sacred Heart Website to find out more and register your family.
