Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish is blessed to have parishioner, Linda Broome, an experienced fitness trainer, in our Lower Hall every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 - 11:00 am and 11:30 am - 12:30 pm offering an exercise opportunity especially geared for anyone (parishioner or non-parishioner). The sessions involve stretching to improve flexibility, balance to decrease the chance of falling, light weights to improve strength and muscle tone, and a light cardiovascular component to help lower resting heart rate, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Everything mentioned above can be done in a seated or standing position, depending on the person's comfort level.

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 contributions 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.

Pope Francis has asked our parish to support Christians in the Holy Land. Through the Good Friday Collection, you join with Catholics around the world to stand in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land. When you contribute to the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you become an instrument of peace in a troubled land. Christians, along with the clergy and religious who serve in the Holy Land deeply appreciate your financial help. Like Simon of Cyrene, you can help carry the cross under very difficult circumstances in the Holy Land.
Please plan to participate in the Novena at home or at church beginning Good Friday at 3:00 pm and concluding the second Sunday of Easter (April 7). The intention for each day and chaplet will be prayed after each daily Mass and before the Masses on Divine Mercy weekend. There will be a Holy Hour here at Sacred Heart Sunday, April 7 at 3:00 pm.
