Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church
Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
Just look at these numbers:

5,575     miles driven
   861     hours of time given
2,000     greeting cards sent
   542     hours of homebound or nursing home visits

These were reported at the recent Sacred Heart Helping Hands Appreciation Dinner.  I give thanks to God that we have so many "helping hands" among our parishioners who reach out to assist fellow parishioners in need.  In fact, more than a few who were "helping hands" volunteers in the past are now being helped by other fellow parishioners.  What's the saying:  "What goes around, comes around."

I ask, firstly, for all parishioners who need help with rides to doctor's offices or to the store, or who need respite from caring for a loved one, or other needs, to call Pat Widlowski at 922-1935 or Cathy Wedwick at 915-8456 to find out more of what Helping Hands can do for you.  Also, we can certainly benefit from more volunteers in this important and gratifying ministry.  Call one of the women mentioned above to get more information.  You can get a volunteer application from the table in the hallway leading to our classrooms/offices.  God bless you all!
