The funeral mass for Loretta Sharpe is today at Sacred Heart Church

The funeral mass for Loretta Sharpe will be held today (Saturday, March 12th) at 1:00 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church located at 425 North 'M' Street here in Lake Worth.

Loretta was a member of this church and participated in many of their activities. There have been a lot of changes to the church and other facilities at Sacred Heart. This Saturday, or any time during open hours, would be a good opportunity to see all the work they've done. For example, Kevin Thompson (the Post beat reporter), had this news about the church last year:
     Sacred Heart Church on North M Street spent the summer undergoing $250,000 worth of renovations [emphasis added], which included adding a new roof, updating the AC along with the marble and porcelain tile. The pews were also taken apart, shipped to North Carolina and restored to its original oak finish.
      “It was time to give the church a fresh look,” said Milka Santos, an advancement director at Scared Heart School.
      All the money was donated, Santos said.
      While Sacred Heart was closed, services were held in Madonna Hall.
      Now, Sacred Heart is ready for its coming out party, of sorts, as the renovations are complete. The Most Reverend Bishop Gerald Barbarito will rededicate the church. [NOTE: the dedication ceremony was held on 9/27/ last year.]
