There are currently numberous students attending who would not be there without our assistance. There are two major compnenets to the succes of this event: golfers and sponsor donations. While many sponsors are from HSV and Hot Springs businesses, may others are from parishioners from Sacred Heart, St John's and St Mary's.

A BIG THANK YOU to Sharon Board who had been the volunteer in our Church Library. Once it was decided to empty the room, Sharon worked long and hard to clear the books and offer them for free to our parishioners. It was a monumental task and she kept going until its completion. It is very much appreciated and does not go unnoticed when someone works so hard for our parish!!

Just a reminder that Sacred Heart offers Electronic Giving. You can make donations online charging them to a credit card or debiting directly from your bank account. We hope this makes it easier for our parishioners to contribute. Here's how to set it up:

  1. Visit the church website at http://www.hsvsacredheart.com/
  2.  Locate the Give Online/IRA/Stocks link on the home page, then follow instructions to create your online profile and schedule your recurring contributions. Profile will include setting up a password and the credit card or bank account you prefer to use. After that, you'll just need the password to enter.
  3.  The next page will include all contributions you may choose to make. You can select monthly, weekly or a one-time contribution. We suggest that your Regular and Building Fund contributions be done monthly on the same date each month, preferably the 5th or the 15th, to make it easier for accounting and to reduce charges to the Church. The envelope contributions will be listed along with the date on the envelope. This will enable you, if you wish, to schedule all of your contributions for the year at one time.

We recommend that you save the Giving Page in your Favorites to make it easier to access. If you need help or have any questions, please contact Larry Stein at 501-226-5105 or 501-204-9074.
