Sacred Heart Ministries

The Sacred Heart Altar Society is a group of parish women who take care of our church.  The mission statement of the Altar Society is:

To look after the cleaning of the church, altar, sacristy, and all that pertains to the requirements for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; while uniting Society members in a spiritual bond.  

The objectives of the Altar Society are:

• Care of the Altar, Sacristy, sacred vestments, linens, altar servers' cassocks, and supplies.
• Promote a greater spirit of devotion to our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
• Promote harmony and cooperation among the ladies of the Parish.
• Promote open and continuous communications  among members of the Society; and
• Promotion of the common goals of the Parish.

The Altar Society meets the first Thursday of the month at  7:00 pm 

Founded by Father Michael J. McGivney in 1882, the Knights of Columbus is a fraternal benefit society. The Order is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity and fraternity.

The Knights was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works.

Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church Bakersifield is home to the Father Dan Coyle Council of the Knights.  Meetings are held the first and third Tuesdays of the month.  

The Legion of Mary is a lay apostolic association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of All Graces, serve the Church and their neighbour on a voluntary basis in about 170 countries. With the approval and support of the Popes and a great many Bishops, Priests and Religious, as well as the prayers and efforts of legionaries, the Legion, by the grace of God, has grown into a worldwide organisation with several million members. 

The Spanish Prayer Group meets on Wednesdays from 7-9 p.m. in the parish hall.  Come join us  in praising our Lord Jesus Christ!  

 Bringing the word of God to the incarcerated of Kern County is one of our primary functions. Our weekly communion services follow the standard liturgical cycle of the Latin Rite. We bring the same weekly readings from the Old Testament, Palms, Epistles and the Holy Gospel to those who can not attend Mass due to their incarceration.
