Sacred Heart Of Mary Church

What Sacred Heart Of Mary Church does

Sacred Heart of Mary Parish is a Roman Catholic parish church located at 6739 South Boulder Road, Boulder, Colorado, and is the first Catholic parish in Boulder County, with continuous operation since the first Mass celebrated there on January 7, 1862. It operates under the ecclesiastical authority of the Archdiocese of Denver and is governed pastorally by Fr. Jonathan Dellinger (Pastor) and Fr. Michael Freihofer (Parochial Vicar), supported by a staff of approximately 7-9 lay employees including a Business Manager, Music Director, Administrative Assistant, Family Service Advisor, and Facilities Maintenance, with financial oversight provided by a Finance Council.

The parish's core offerings span three domains: (1) liturgical worship, including daily and Sunday Mass in both English (Novus Ordo) and Traditional Latin (1962 Missal) forms, plus reconciliation and Eucharistic adoration; (2) the seven Catholic sacraments (Baptism, Reconciliation, First Communion/Confirmation, Matrimony, OCIA, Anointing of the Sick); and (3) ancillary ministries including a music program (choir, handbells, Schola Cantorum), adult faith formation groups (men's and women's groups, That Man Is You!), parish social events, and cemetery/memorial services. The parish operates a 2.5-acre on-site cemetery with genealogy records dating to 1882 and a 16-foot granite Memorial Wall for the Unborn that has interred approximately 5,500 cremated remains since 1996.

The business model is a nonprofit donations-and-fees model. Primary revenue comes from voluntary tithes and weekly offertory collections from parishioners, supplemented by $10 Mass intention donations, cemetery plot and cremation fees, memorial wall plaque orders, and passive fundraising through the King Soopers Community Rewards loyalty program and The Catholic Foundation giving channel. Digital infrastructure is built on the eCatholic website platform (online giving, registration, bulletins), Flocknote for email communications, and YouTube livestreaming of the Traditional Latin Mass. Distribution is overwhelmingly in-person at the single Boulder location, with limited digital reach via livestream.
