Help Sacred Heart Southern Missions Make A Difference

Sacred Heart Southern Missions provide a wide range of pastoral, educational, and social services to people living in some of the poorest areas in the state of Mississippi.

Social Service Office

Through eight social service offices, Sacred Heart Southern Missions seek long term solutions to the problems suffered by poor families while our thrift store and food pantries provide for immediate needs. A variety of programs is available in each local area:

Housing Programs

During the 1980s the first indications of what would become Sacred Heart Southern Missions Housing Ministry appeared. The roofs of ten houses in Walls were repaired. As one resident put it before the repairs were done, “When it rains at night, we all get up. There’s no place big enough to stretch out and not get wet.”

Volunteer

Sacred Heart Southern Missions is blessed by the service of many individuals and groups of volunteers of all ages. All touch the hearts and needs of so many of our children and clients. Some are local; some come from far away and are provided housing; some stay for a short time, others for an extended time. There’s a place for you…

Education

Education is the best way to break the cycle of poverty in northern Mississippi. By providing the necessary foundational skills, we prepare children with the tools they need to complete their education and prepare for their future.

Parishes

The Priests of the Sacred Heart have pastoral responsibility for DeSoto, Tunica, Tate, Marshall and Benton Counties and staff all six of the parishes in this five-county area of northwest Mississippi. The addresses, Mass schedules and parish staff contact information follows.
