This year it will be "This is Our Faith" by Michael Cumbie. Michael is a Catholic convert whose story is interesting and entertaining. He is now a Catholic lay evangelist who is teaching, as truth, those things that he once claimed to be heresy. The topic of the video this week is entitled "Call No Man Father" .The meal this week, chicken gumbo, is being prepared and served by the Knights of Columbus. If you haven't signed up in the Narthex, call the church office at 501-922-2062 extension 10 to commit yourself/family to attend.Before we enter into the "Great Three Days" of the Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday evening, we invite our parishioners to gather in fellowship to share in a supper before the liturgy of The Lord's Supper (which begins at 6:30 p.m.). The supper will take place in the lower hall starting at 5:00 p.m. and will be a delicious meal prepared by Chef Johnna and served by members of our Sacred Heart Men's Club. (Thanks, men). The menu is: Chicken Fried Chicken with Gravy, Creamy Rice Pilaf, Grilled Corn on the Cob, Rolls & Butter, and Green Salad with dressing and Fr Bill's Homemade Ice Cream. We would appreciate donations of at least $10 to help pay for this exceptionally good meal!!!!
