A number of ministries thrive at Sacred Heart Church, including Knights of Columbus, Catholic Daughters, prison ministry and youth ministry, and Elizabeth Ministry is in its beginning stages. Father John Putnam, who became pastor in July 2000 and is now also vicar forane of the Salisbury vicariate and judicial vicar for the Diocese of Charlotte, now ministers to 830 families. “It’s a very ethnically diverse parish, and that brings together a nice blend of the community,” said Father Putnam. The congregation continues to grow, and in 2003, the parish purchased a 40-acre tract of land on Lumen Christi Lane and our new church and school buildings were completed in 2008.
