"But I will show you a more excellent way." (1 Corinthians 13:1). Love never fails. It is so much more than a mere emotion. Love opens our hearts (and our lives) and allows us to selflessly consider others ahead of our own needs, wants and desires. The same selfless love brought Jesus to the cross and it calls each of us to follow Him by reaching out to others that are in need. The Catholic Arkansas Sharing Appeal is a way for each of us to share in God's incredible love for the world by giving your financial support to others that need it so much. Become a CASA supporter today. Return your CASA gift/pledge in the envelopes that were sent to your home or those provided at the church.

Your 2024 Contribution Statements will be available for pick up at the church office, beginning January 31, Tuesday through Friday 8:00 am - 1:00 pm or call the office 501 922-2062 to request your statement be mailed.

This weekend the special collection will be taken up in parishes across Arkansas for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe. These countries and the former Soviet Union endured decades of communist oppression. Also emerging from the years of communist rule is the church, which suffered grave wounds to its spiritual life and its ability to serve. Now, it is vigorously involved in rebuilding the faith of its people. Proceeds from this collection, sponsored by the bishops of the United States, are used for things such as supporting religious education programs, training seminarians, expanding social ministries and rebuilding churches, convents and schools. For more information, contact the Stewardship and Development Office at 501 664-0340.
