Parish Information
WELCOME TO AYR!!!!!!!!
You will find Sacred Heart Church right on the Bruce Highway! We have ample car-parking behind the church.
You will find Parish Bulletins in the inserts just inside the doors. At weekend Masses, we also provide a Special Minister with Gluten-Free Hosts -- that's the Minister standing in front of the Ambo (where the Readings are done). Come up the left aisle if you would like a gluten-free host.
N.B. Weekday Mass times are subject to change at short notice. Please contact the Parish office to confirm.
If you are new, please please please introduce yourself to the priest. Our parish was founded in 1912, and what has made us a strong and vibrant parish is the deep sense of hospitality and acceptance of new people.
Don't be scared if you have little children or a baby. We love all our kids here, and they're all very welcome.
Come and meet new friends. Come and celebrate the Risen Lord who calls us all into new life.
