Vision

We see a community in which the Catholic Church is the spiritual center of Oelwein; Catholics hold pride of place in the community; the Catholic voice is strong, consistent, powerful, and decisive; Jesus Christ is proclaimed, defended, and modeled in every family, workplace.

Mission

Sacred Heart Parish’s mission is to remain centered on Eucharist as we take the Gospel to every corner of our community.

Core Values

We are a Christ-centered community that embraces a sacramental way of living through our daily words and actions.

We are living models of the Sacred Heart of Jesus who evangelize through witness, education, prayer, and service.

We are servants, who continue the Lord’s mission of healing, teaching, and promoting the Kingdom of Heaven.

We are a community of respect for individuals, families, society, and country.

Key Asset

Our greatest asset is our beautiful church building, which is a center of private prayer, public worship, community service, and continuing evangelization.
