When I was 19 years old, I fell in love with Jesus. And so in the summer of 1974, I was baptized Catholic - in the Murphy’s swimming pool!
Vatican II had flung open the windows and I have a clear memory of Fr. Frank, the priest who had just baptized me, standing at the edge of the pool, looking puzzled. I asked him what he was thinking about and he said “what am I going to do with all this holy water?!”
Well, at that, just about everyone jumped in!
The spirit was a movin’!
At morning mass the next day I was confirmed and received my first communion. And the rest, as they say, is history.
I became our parish youth minister that same week. And so began my vocation. Who would have thought that teenage girl would be called by God to minister in the Church, yet here I am today, having served 48 years in parish ministry - what a glad and grace-filled journey it has been.
God has called me in many ways throughout my life, and through it all I have tried to follow him. But as you know, our God is a God of surprises - and so it is that Christ is calling me to experience another deepening of His love and mercy in my life.
Thus it is with a heart full of gratitude to God and deep affection for you all, that I announce my retirement from parish ministry. I have been struggling with Ménières disease for some time but the condition has intensified, impacting my ability to continue. Don’t worry, it is a condition one lives with, though I remain grateful for your prayers.
Serving you these last 12 years has been such a joy. I love our community! Thank you for sharing your lives with me so generously. How you have touched my heart and enriched my soul!
In faith and friendship, I remain, gratefully,
Yours in Christ
Dotti Hulburt, DCM

God's Kingdom Is Within
The words of Jesus "Set your hearts on God's kingdom first . . . and all other things will be given you as well" summarize best the way we are called to live our lives. With our hearts set on God's kingdom. That kingdom is not some faraway land that we hope to reach, nor is it life after death or an ideal state of affairs. No. God's Kingdom is, first of all, the active presence of God's Spirit within us, offering us the freedom we truly desire.
-Henri Nouwen
AMEN.
Sacred Heart has purchased a parish account for the Hallow app which you can use for free during Lent. The app is full of innumerable prayer ideas, novenas, rosaries, and a special “40 day challenge” to help with prayer during Lent. Fr. Mike Schmitz, Bishop Barron, Mark Wahlberg, Jim Caviezel and Johnathan Roumie are among the voices on the app. It’s really quite amazing!
In order to access the account, go to www.hallow.com/holyday and enter Sacred Heart Coronado.
You’ll need to create your own account with a username and password, but no credit card is required.
Thank you.
