Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Morton
Vision:
We the members of the East Lewis County Catholic communities are a faithful, loving, caring, spirit filled, sacramental community. We are a family strengthened by love and prayer, praising God through devotion, song and action. We seek to do Jesus Christ's mission by being gifted peacemakers in our homes, communities and world. We welcome the new, the wandering, the poor and the unloved. As a Spirit filled community we seek a deeper more personal relationship with Jesus Christ as we strive to spread the Good news of the gospel.
Who We Are:
In 1919 Sacred Heart Catholic Church was built in Mineral and served the community until 1929. In 1922 Sacred Heart Mission was established in Morton, as a mission of St. John of the Woods, Tacoma, until 1968 when it become a parish with a resident pastor. The present building was dedicated on Palm Sunday, April 7, 1963 by Archbishop Thomas Connally. You can see how the interior of the church appeared when built, along with Fr. Prouty who built it. It looks very much the same today.
