Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church
Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
"But I will show you a more excellent way." (1 Cor. 13:1) Love never fails. It is so much more than a mere emotion. Love opens our hearts (and our lives) and allows us to selflessly consider others ahead of our own desires, wants and needs. This same selfless love brought Jesus to the cross and it calls each of us to follow him by reaching out to those in need. Return your CASA gift/pledge in the provided envelopes.

Please donate generously and make a difference in our own back yard by being a CASA supporter. Use the envelopes that were sent to your home or those provided in the pews.
It's once again time for the 16th Annual Knights of Columbus Golf Tournament benefitting St John's School student financial assistance. There are currently 34 students experiencing a superb education due to this charity. Since the inception of this event, over 300 children have received financial aid from this charity. The tournament is scheduled to take place on June 15, 2024 at Granada Golf Course. Due to the extreme rise in green fees, this year's cost is $100 per player. Teams may be all male, all female or a combination. Entry deadline is June 15. Please do not wait to enter. Last year 6 teams were unable to participate because the tournament filled prior to the deadline.

Obtain entry forms at www.hsvsacredheart.com or www.hsvofc.org. The tournament cannot be successful without  individual and business sponsor support. Hole sponsorship starts at $100. For any entry, sponsor or tournament information contact Scott Krantz at 512-626-7711 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
We have four collection counting teams that count Sunday's collections on the following Monday. Each team has a leader responsible for the accuracy of the count and depositing the funds at the bank. We begin at 8:00 a.m. and use a room set up for counting located off the Upper Hall. Based on the number of collections that Sunday, the process takes from 35 to 90 minutes. Each team counts for one month out of every four. These teams are in need of additional counters:

Feb-June-Oct (1) person
March-July-Nov (1) person
April-Aug-Dec (2) people

Please call the church if you are not receiving robocalls. Also, know your division leader's phone number in order to identify their call when they need to be in touch.

"There are many offerings on FORMED: audio talks, movies, book studies and discussions that get to the core of our spiritual life. If you browse through the site under "Lent" one of many offerings is "A Quick Thought on Lent". If you get  the message of this analogy, you will be reminded that spiritual renewal is possible during Lent but participation is necessary.
