This endowment was started in late 2015 by 11 parishioners who wished to leave the Sacred Heart Parish a charitable legacy long after they are gone. The endowment will provide an annual payment for our charitable outreach programs in perpetuity. The fund which is set up under the fiduciary care of the Arkansas Community Foundation will provide about $4000.00 annually to our Social Justice and Charita-ble Outreach committee. This amount will grow in size as the Endowment grows. One of the ways you can assist in this growth is to make donations in honor of a deceased friend or acquaintance. As of this date, the endowment is valued at $105,486.00. With questions, please email Dave Witchger at This email address is being protected from spambots.

With one or two additional volunteers, the responsibil-ity may be limited to only one weekend a month. Funerals vary as family requests for live streaming are made. Training and a detailed step-by-step "User Guide" will be provided. Please contact Shawn Clark 713 419-4353 if interested. Thank you for your consideration!

Just a reminder that Sacred Heart offers Electronic Giving. You can make donations online charging them to a credit card or debiting directly from your bank account. We hope this makes it easier for our parishioners to contribute. Here's how to set it up:
1. Visit the church website at
http://www.hsvsacredheart.com/

2. Locate the Give Online/IRA/Stocks link on the home page, then follow instructions to create your online profile and schedule your recurring contributions. Profile will include setting up a password and the credit card or bank account you prefer to use. After that, you'll just need the password to enter.

3. The next page will include all contributions you may choose to make. You can select monthly, weekly or a one-time contribution. We suggest that your Regular and Building Fund contribu-tions be done monthly on the same date each month, preferably the 5th or the 15th, to make it easier for accounting and to reduce charges to the Church. The envelope contributions will be listed along with the date on the envelope. This will enable you, if you wish, to schedule all of your contributions for the year at one time.
We recommend that you save the Giving Page in your Favorites to make it easier to access. If you need help or have any questions, please contact Larry Stein at 501-226-5105 or 501-204-9074.

Adorers are needed for Monday at 3:00 pm and Thursday at 7:00 pm. Come receive the gift of Jesus present in His Blessed Sacrament.

As always, but especially until the PEA coor-dinator position is filled please contact your division leader with questions/concerns. Also, check the PEA website and the chapel bulletin board.

After blessing our parish with 2 years of committed service as coordinator of our Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration ministry, Kathy Clark is stepping away from this position as of July 1. We are, therefore, looking for an adorer willing to step up and serve for at least 2 years. We currently have very capable people as division leaders for the 6 time periods of Adoration, so the coordinator is someone who will work with them and seek to enhance both the number of adorers and encouragement of current adorers to stay committed and grow in the Lord through their time spent weekly in the Chapel. This person will receive needed assistance from Fr. Bill in everything they do, so please call Fr. Bill 501 209-2502 if interested or if you have someone to recommend for this position. Some computer skills are required.

Are you aware that Formed not only provides a variety of home studies, but many times will provide leader and participant guides online. If you would like to do a study, on your own or with a small group, you can do so with aids. "Lectio: Eucharist: Discovering the Mass in the Bible" with Dr. Brant Pitre is an example. During this study you will learn first-hand how Christ's Body and Blood are an integral part of God's plan for our salvation. Go to www.FORMED.org  to register as a SHJ parishioner for your free subscription to this study and others.
