PASTOR'S COLUMN Though I'm certainly not the only one at Sacred Heart that was born and raised in Arkansas (Hot Springs), most of our wonderful parishioners have come to our quaint Village and parish from places across the United States. Many of you come from dioceses that you loved and lived in for a few or many years. It is understandable that some (or maybe more than some) have a connection with your previous diocese that might include still getting the diocesan newspaper from there. One of the many blessings that has come to our parish through the efforts of our V.I.P. of the month, Bob Honzik, is his continuous encouragement to get all of our parishioners connected to the Diocese of Little Rock (that covers the whole state of Arkansas). From supporting and promoting the many ministries of our diocese that benefit us and so many others through our giving to the Catholic Arkansas Sharing Appeal, to ONLINE GIVING our prayers and ongoing financial support for our seminarians This is a reminder that Sacred Heart is offering (most of whom will become the future priests of Arkansas), to Electronic Giving.
