"In our self-centered culture and classic American emphasis on work, we often feel we have to accomplish something during our time before the Blessed Sacrament. We rate our experience by how "good" our prayer was, how heartfelt our devotion...how focused we remain. yet prayer and contemplation are fundamentally God's work, in which we are invited to participate. We need only to give Him the opening and He will do the rest. By coming in adoration, we are handing HIm the keys to our hears, allowng the rays of His love and grace to bathe our souls in the light of His presence, as the rays of the sun bathe our bodies in light. If we take the time to pull away frm the busyness and distractions of life and just sit at His feet, he will lead us." Poor Clares of Adoration  For additional information, visit the PEA website at www.shjpea.com or contact Kathy Clark, Eucharistic Coordinator, at 203-816-7737.

O my God,
I am sorry and repent with all my heart
for all the wrong I have done and for the good I have 
failed to do, because by sinning I have offfended you,
who are all good and worthy to be loved above all
things.
I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid the occasions 
of sin.
Through the erits of the Passion of our
Savior Jesus Christ, Lord have mercy.

We need your help making rosaries that are shipped to third world countries. This is the only mission in Sacred Heart of Jesus that extends outside the United States borders. Since COVID, our dedicated rosary maker group has shrunk considerably. Making the rosaries is easy to learn but it does take some practice. We meet weekly on Thursday mornings after Mass. It is not necessary to come every week once you have learned how to make them. Please consider this very worthy mission as your next summer project. Men are welcome too. Please call Marge Newburn at 501-922-9047 for imformation.

The Family Assistance Committee of the parish Social Justice and Charitable Outreach Commission for 8 years has been assisting less fortunate families in teh area in times of emergency. Funds from the parish have been allocated and are just one avenue of support. We direct families to agencies that provide services that support them in their needs. Members of this committee meet on a monthly basis to review active cases that are still being addressed. Potential clients are interviewed by 2 team members who help assess what the person or family might need short term and, when necessary, long term to attain a more stable and even self-sufficient situation. If you would like to know more of the responsibilities of committee members and/or to volunteer for this committee, call Tom Ament at 501-922-0641 or Marvin Young at 501-915-8028. We really need to add members to this important and fulfilling miinistry.
