Prayer to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus

Heart of Jesus, source of every blessing, I love you and, with deep sorrow for my sins, I offer you this poor heart of mine.  May your grace help to make me humble, patient, pure and obedient to your will.  Grant that I may live in you and for you.  Give me comfort in my afflictions, health of body, assistance in my daily needs, your blessing on all that I do and the grace of a holy death.  Amen.

Welcome to Sacred Heart of Jesus Men's Club Web Site


Logo4_200x242.pngThe Men’s Club offers a chance for men of the Parish to live out their faith, whether it is through service, fellowship, or prayer.  All Catholic men of the Parish and non-Catholic spouses of ladies of the Parish are eligible to become members of the Men’s Club.  The Men’s Club is devoted to promoting the Catholic faith, sociability, and supporting parish and community charitable efforts.

The Men’s Club meets on the second Tuesday of each month, September through May, at 5:00 PM in the Lower Hall of the Church.  If you would like to attend one of our meetings simply contact one of our members and let them know you’d like to attend.  It’s that easy.

We have two major fundraisers each year, a chicken bake in the fall and a fish bake during Lent.  We support Jackson House, Samaritan Ministries, Paul Bewie Boys & Girls Club, McCauly Center Meals on Wheels, St. John’s School in Hot Springs,Our Lady of Fatima School in Benton, and Sacred Heart Christmas Baskets, among others.  There are typically several men from the Club that are actively involved in most of these organizations.

On the social front, aside from our meetings, we start and end our year by inviting the spouses and widows of former members to our Kickoff Dinner in September and our Steak Fry in May.  We also have a Christmas Dinner wiih wives and widows at our normal dinner meeting in December.  We also have an annual trip to see the Arkansas Traveler Basebal team play at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock in May or June of each year.
