Give us this day our daily bread. For most of us, this is not our most pressing daily concern. We will not wonder what we will find to eat or where we will sleep tonight.One of the best expressions of gratitude that we can show for all the blessings that we enjoy each day from God's providential hand is to share some of our "bread" with those who don't have enough of their own. Please consider becoming a monthly supporter of CASA. Together, we can make a difference right here at home. Return your CASA Gift/pledge in the envelopes provided.
As we enter the month of May and look forward to the celebration of Mother's Day, we may wish to think particularly about the Virgin Mary and her role as the Mother of the Redeemer.FORMED.org offers many opportunities to learn about the unique place of Mary in Christian history and the Church. One program, a 12-part series of videos, The Bible and the Virgin Mary: Journey Through Scripture, includes compelling narrations about Mary as well as accompanying participant guides for each video that allow viewers to reflect further on the video's content. For those who cannot make a commitment to a series, there is the Knights of Columbus video called Guadalupe: The Miracle and the Message that shows how a miraculous event of the past can continue to have a transformative effect today.

Parishioners, we could use your help! For the past SEVEN years Ed Aucoin and Bill Taylor have been managing the Knights of Columbus Blood Drive. We are now at a point where we would like to continue with the every other month Blood Drive: however, we need to give the current volunteers some relief. As a result, we need one or two parishioners who would be able to pitch-in for a few hours every other month to help us out in checking-in people waiting to give blood.Sacred Heart of Jesus Parishioenrs make up about 65% of the donors and as a parish, we do receive some benefits from the Arkansas Blood Institute. We don't want to lost those important benefits if we can't participate in the program.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer, e-mail Rick Darnell (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or call 1-602-418-7035.
Thank you for helping us continue this important program.

Beginning in the week of April 16, the parish will offer a four-week Easter Season study focused on the sacraments. Each session is part of the Symbolon video-based program on "Living the Faith." In weekly meetings lasting approximately 75 minutes, we will learn about the biblical foundation of the sacraments and the ways in which the sacraments are the means by which we can receive God's grace and develop the will to live more perfect lives. Each session will address the question "Why are the sacraments central to our lives as Catholics?"Participants can choose to attend weekly discussion sessions or to follow the program on an independent study basis. There will be four sessions at Sacred Heart, each with its own facilitator(s): Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. (Paula Doyle), Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. (Dave Johnston and Rose Harrigan), and Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. (Don Ritter).
Sign-up sheets for the discussion groups and independent study are in the narthex. The study guide for those participating in the scheduled sessions csots $9.00 - to be paid at the first meeting. Those following the program on an independent study basis should pick up an instruction sheet on the sign-up table that outlines the steps to access the FORMED website and the video sessions and study guide.
