The Easter Season is a time to CELEBRATE the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and so many blessings that flow from the Risen Lord, like His real presence in Holy Communion (First Communions) and in our mothers (Mothers Day) to name a few. Last week we celebrated here at Sacred Heart, Christ present and acting through volunteers in our Helping Hands ministry. As we recalled the many people who were helped and the various ways they were helped, and recognized various people for their efforts in certain areas, we not only gave thanks to God for them and their efforts, but I also wondered if there are parishioners out there who need help, but who are not getting it for a number of reasons.
This week we are including in the bulletin an insert that details the services provided by Helping Hands. Please keep this somewhere even if you don't need any of our services now. You might benefit from the time and efforts of a volunteer in this ministry sometime down the road whether it be a month, a year, or years down the road. PLEASE don't hesitate to ask for help! In addition, we are hoping that some of you will consider making yourself available to help your fellow parishioners when they have needs that they are struggling with or can no longer do. There's a volunteer application that clearly indicates what you can do to help, and provides a place where you can indicate the days and times when you are normally available to lend a helping hand. Please mail this application to Cathy Wedwick at the address provided on the bottom of the application form. Call Cathy at 915-8456 or Pat at 922-1395 (after May 13) if you have questions. I recognize and rejoice in how many people in the Village and in our parish, are already lending a helping hand either short-term or long-term, to a neighbor or friend in need. Keep up the good work and let others be Christ to you if you are in need! If you know of a fellow parishioner who might benefit from some of our services, please give me a name and I or someone, will follow-up. Call me at 501-209-2502.
