The Catholic Home Missions Appeal strengthens the Catholic Church in the United States and its territories where resources are thin and priests are few. The funds collected help these Catholic communities survive and thrive by underwriting evangelization, religious educa-tion, education for future priests training for lay ministers and poor parishes that may have to close without outside funding. The Diocese of Little Rock has benefitted from this special support. For more information call 501 664-0340.

For over 500 years both religious and lay persons have prayed the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. As you mirror his prayerful journey following the life, teaching, death and resurrection of Jesus, you will encounter a loving God. This is being offered at St. John the Baptist in Hot Springs beginning at the end of September.
