Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church conducts a Treasure Sale every other year in September.  Net proceeds from recent sales have been used to support Catholic elementary education at St. John's in Hot Springs and Our Lady of Fatima in Benton.  Comparable to funds allocated from previous sales, this year $8,000 was given to each school.  These donations were made possible by the hard work of many Sacred Heart volunteers who organized and implemented the sale, the parishioners who donated treasures, and the many Villagers (including parishioners) who purchased treasures during the sale. Thanks to all! Thanks also to the local Habitat for Humanity Restore for accepting all of the unsold items.
