In the absence of an available Parish Priest, an innovative and highly successfull model of parish life was instituted under the guidance of The Bishop. Two full time Parish Pastoral Leaders were appointed and the laity were called upon to take a higher level of responsibility for the affairs of the parish under the Parish Pastoral Council. Each week different visiting Priests, often retired or from the various orders are invited to celebrate Mass and the sacraments at Sacred Heart Parish
