Before and after we enter into the "Three Days" known as the Triduum, we invite you to gather to share in two meals on Holy Thursday and Good Friday. The Holy Thursday meal (at 5:00 pm in the Lower Hall) will be prepared by Chef Johnna and served by volunteers from our Sacred Heart Men's Club (thanks!). It will consist of a salad, chicken alfredo lasagna and bread. Donations of at least $10 per person are encouraged and will help pay for this delicious meal. Sign up in the Narthex or call 501 276-7837 to reserve by noon Monday, April 14. The Good Friday meal will be meatless minestrone after the 12:00 pm Stations of the Cross in the Lower Hall with donations accepted. Sign up in the Narthex by Monday, April 14. Join with your fellow parishioners and begin the observance of the Triduum.
