"Charity begins at home" is an old proverb and for Catholics across our state; charity really begins at CASA. The Catholic Arkansas Sharing Appeal is our annual campaign to fund a multitude of projects around our diocese including Catholic schools, a charitable medical clinic, Youth Ministries, disaster relief and adoption services. Please donate generously and make a difference in our own back yard by being a CASA supporter. Use the envelopes that were sent to your home or those provided in the pews.
It's once again time for the 16th Annual Knights of Columbus Golf Tournament benefitting St John's School student financial assistance. There are currently 34 students experiencing a superb education due to this charity. Since the inception of this event, over 300 children have received financial aid from this charity. The tournament is scheduled to take place on June 15, 2024 at Granada Golf Course. Due to the extreme rise in green fees, this year's cost is $100 per player. Teams may be all male, all female or a combination. Entry deadline is June 15. Please do not wait to enter. Last year 6 teams were unable to participate because the tournament filled prior to the deadline.
Obtain entry forms at www.hsvsacredheart.com or www.hsvofc.org. The tournament cannot be successful without individual and business sponsor support. Hole sponsorship starts at $100. For any entry, sponsor or tournament information contact Scott Krantz at 512-626-7711 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

We have four collection counting teams that count Sunday's collections on the following Monday. Each team has a leader responsible for the accuracy of the count and depositing the funds at the bank. We begin at 8:00 a.m. and use a room set up for counting located off the Upper Hall. Based on the number of collections that Sunday, the process takes from 35 to 90 minutes. Each team counts for one month out of every four. These teams are in need of additional counters:
Feb-June-Oct (1) person
March-July-Nov (1) person
April-Aug-Dec (2) people
If you are interested, contact Mike Kerwin at 501-922-1531. Training will be provided.

"There are many offerings on FORMED: audio talks, movies, book studies and discussions that get to the core of our spiritual life. If you browse through the site under "Lent" one of many offerings is "A Quick Thought on Lent".
