The 50/50 will work like your typical super bowl squares. The per square donation is $20 and payout is as follows:

                                         1st quarter: $200, 2nd quarter: $250
                                         3rd quarter: $200 and final score: $350

You are allowed a max of 5 squares per person. Family members/relatives can participate. Our goal is to fill two boards (200 squares). If squares remain the final week in January, then you may purchase additional.

This Men's Club fundraiser is to increase our financial donations to our selected charities.

Sometimes it can be hard to still our souls in Jesus' presence

"Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations…"                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                     St. Francis de Sales

As you begin planning your 2025 activities, all men of the parish should set aside March 17 - 20. These are the dates of our annual Sacred Heart Men's Retreat at the St. John's Center in Little Rock. Back by popular demand, our retreat leader will be Fr. Stephen Gadberry. You won't want to miss these spiritually uplifting presentations from this dynamic young priest. With questions, please call Ed Doyle at 501 922-5771.
One of the ways you can participate at Mass is to bring up the gifts and present them to the Lord. If every family would take one Sunday a year to present the gifts, all the Masses would be filled! Please consider taking a moment and sign up for a Mass in the white "Gift Bearers Book" in the Narthex. The 2025 pages have been added and are ready for your name.
