Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church
Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
I rejoice in the Lord as I ponder the response to the invitation to Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in our parish.  Last week 273 people pledged to spend one hour a week before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in our "soon to be Eucharistic Chapel" as spoken of by our visiting priest, Father Joe DeLuca.  I am also pleased that we will have the leadership of Roger Bresnahan as our coordinator, and other's will work behind the scenes in setting up our Perpetual Adoration Chapel and in the ongoing efforts to keep our adoration of Jesus - 24 hours each day, 7 days a week - going and growing.

If you didn't sign up last weekend for whatever reason, please know that you can sign up at church by filling out one of the invitation forms that are on the table in the narthex, and putting it in the box on that table.  In the weeks to come, those who signed up will be getting a call to solidify the day of the week and time of the day that you will be given to the Lord each week.  We will let you know when we will dedicate our chapel (hopefully, with Bishop Taylor presiding) and when we will start Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration here at Sacred Heart Church.

I already anticipate many blessing that will come because of this great devotion to Jesus, present to us in the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance ALL THE TIME (except when Mass is going on).  May the Holy Spirit inspire those who have signed up and others who, hopefully, will join us in the future.
