Time Capsule Found
On October 1, 2009 two 1st grade students at Sacred Heart found a time-capsule. Morgan Strom and Peaches Worlds were in P.E. making a sand castle when they came across an object. Morgan saw the jar first and thought it was a pipe. Sarah Guttmann, McKenzie Simmons and Cordelia Craney also came over to help make the sand castle. Sarah thought it was a treasure, and all of the girls helped dig it out. The girls found the time-capsule under the climbing playground and were really excited!
They turned it into Mrs. Smith. She read some of the messages inside the jar; it turns out that it was buried during the 1999 and 2000 school year! The messages were written by the 6th grade class and some of those students still have family members going to the school.
Kelsey Hansford has a cousin named Breezy who was in the sixth grade when her class buried their time capsule. She also said that the seventh and eighth grades of 1999 buried time capsules too! Sacred Heart is very excited to see who will discover the next two! Keep checking to see if the students dig up any other interesting objects!
- Here are some examples of messages that were buried ten years ago:
- “I am a good and smart student!!”- Sarah DelGallo
- “I want anyone who finds this note that Natasha Mattes thinks Ricky Martin is cute.” -Natasha Mattesi
- “I would want someone to remember me, Kalyn, as someone who is nice and kind to all people.” –Kalyn Salinas

Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Of the many promises Our Lord Jesus Christ did reveal to Saint Margaret Mary in favor of souls devoted to His Sacred Heart the principal ones are as follows:
- I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life
- I will give peace in their families
- I will console them in all their troubles
- I will be their refuge in life and especially in death
- I will abundantly bless all their undertakings
- Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy
- Tepid souls shall become fervent
- Fervent souls shall rise speedily to great perfection
- I will bless those places wherein the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and venerated
- I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts
- Persons who propagate this devotion shall have their names eternally written in my Heart
- In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour
