WHO WE ARE
Our Helping Hands Ministry recognizes that at times everyone needs help coping with sudden illness or unforeseen circumstances. Helping Hands volunteers stand ready to assist registered parishioners at turning points or in emergencies, providing help until problems are resolved or until permanent solutions are in place. Our volunteers realize that our prayers, care and support for those in need make a positive difference. Our ministry has been part of the solution for our parishioners since the 1980s.
WHAT WE DO
We provide transportation for those unable to drive to Mass, medical appointments and escort shopping. WE also shop and deliver groceries and supplies, make wellness checks and send sunshine cards to the homebound and those in care facilities. Our visits and/or respite care can be lifesavers for family caregivers. We provide practical information about local resources for those parishioners and their families in sudden transition. We will help you find solutions.

World Mission Sunday, observed on October 20 this year, is a powerful reminder of our call to be
missionaries. The collection taken up on this day is unique as it is mandated by the Code of
Canon Law and is essential for the survival and growth of the Church in mission territories. These
funds support the pastoral and evangelizing work of the Church, including building
churches, providing healthcare and education and trainig future priests and religious. In
places where resources are scarce, your generosity makes a profound difference. As we reflect on
the theme "Go and invite everyone to the banquet," let us remember that our participation and
support invite countless souls to the feast of God's love.

While we are always ready to help someone find out more about the Catholic Church and/or be formed
in the Catholic tradition toward a possible commitment through sacraments and initiation, the Fall

501 209-2502 for more information. It is always hoped that we can do this in a group setting with
multiple inquirers, so please respond soon.

Just a reminder that Sacred Heart offers Electronic Giving. You can make donations online charging them to a credit card or debiting directly from your bank account. We hope this makes it easier for our parishioners to contribute. Here's how to set it up:
1. Visit the church website at
http://www.hsvsacredheart.com/
2. Locate the Give Online/IRA/Stocks link on the left side of the home page, then follow instruc-tions to create your online profile and schedule your recurring contributions.
