One of the many blessings of having a parish pictoral directory is that it helps us to identify and, hopefully, have occasion to meet and get to know our fellow parishoners, some of whom have been here a long and some a relatively short time. The parishioners who have been here 15, 20 or even more years, will hear a name and say "I don't know that person" which, in many cases, is someone who has not been in the parish all that long. One parishioner, Kathy Clark, our VIP for the month of July, has been in the Village only 6 years with her husband, Shawn, and has become more familiar in the parish (and community) because of her willingness to get involved and use her time and talents for the Lord in service to others. She has taken on leadership roles (i.e. president, vice-president and database administrator) of the Ladies of Sacred Heart and now for the glory of God and the benefit of the parish, the coordinator of our Eucharistic Adoration Ministry. In the "Walking With Purpose" lady's bible study group, she serves as a group facilitator, helping our ladies to grow in their life in the Lord. Liturgicallly she works behind the scenes as a sacristan, and is most recently a memeber of our family assistance committee. While all this keeps her plenty busy, she has worked part-time with Good Sam's services for the home-bound, has gotten involved in HSV Players (and our parish dinner theater in 2022) and has worked helping people with visual impairments through FOCUS. Kathy is one of those special people who has a hard time saying no when asked to do something or who steps forward on her own when a need arises to join in some effort or ministry. Doing all of this (and probably more than this) in just six years of living in the Village and being a member of Sacred Heart Church, I have no doubts that she will add to this list of ways she gets involved and continue to  be a gift to those whom she serves. One more thing I want to mention is that Kathy assists her husband, Shawn, when he takes on the task of livestreaming our Sunday Mass, which blesses those who cannot come to Mass and others as well. God bless you, Kathy, a well deserved choice as our VIP for the  month of July!
