Book of the Month – Sacred Heart Church

Last month I inaugurated  a book-of-the-month, that featured Sagebrush Reflections. After all proceeds from book sales not only help support operations, but help finance future publications.

As Easter Sunday falls on March 27, I thought it is only fitting to feature my history of Susanville’s Sacred Heart Church.  While the work examines the church’s humble beginnings with the first Mass held in 1869, to when the parish was established in 1912. Yet interspersed along the way are many tidbits, how the church grew with the community. Take for instance the year the parish was formed, the growth was so rampant in Susanville that more commercial and residential buildings were constructed that year,  that in all the combined previous 15 years! Did you know that the church’s St. Patrick’s dinner is the oldest continuous event in the history of Susanville and 2016 marks its 99th!  All of this and more at a bargain price of $10.00.

One thought on “Book of the Month – Sacred Heart Church”

  1. Excellent. I am the Grand Knight of the Sacred Heart Council. I am thoroughly greatful that such an artcle is available. I would be honored if you and guest would attend our 99th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Celebration on 12 March. Again for bringing this book and article to the attention of the members of the Parish of Sacred Heart.
