I can hardly believe that my time at Sacred Heart is coming to an end. My heart will be forever filled with gratitude for the people of this parish. I want to express to all of you how much I appreciate the love and support you have shown me over these three years. You welcomed me into the parish in the midst of the COVID lockdowns. You supported me with your prayers, your kind words, and your encouragement. It was a joy and a privilege for me to serve you as your priest. My time at Sacred Heart has helped me grow in my priesthood. Although there is excitement as I begin my new assignment, the experience is bittersweet. Saying “goodbye” is going to be hard.

As I begin my new assignment as the administrator of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Parish in Crestline, know that I depart Palm Desert with a heavy heart. I will miss you all terribly. Know that you will always been in my heart and in my prayers. I will be forever grateful for my time here at Sacred Heart.

Thank you!

Fr. Tyler Tripp
