Happy Easter, I wish we could listen in real time to the beautiful hymn which is sung at the Easter vigil....” Let the hosts of heaven exult, let the trumpet exult, let angel ministers of God exult.”  God is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End......This situation only makes us deepen our faith, thank God for our faith.  Click the title to read the message.

This was forwarded by Mary Kay Socha, a WSH member & nurse: Scarlett came to my unit this afternoon to tell me how absolutely beautiful the baskets were that were delivered to the hospital. She took them to the ER staff, 4-medical and MNU. The 4th one is in her office to share with everyone! She is the director of surgical services. Scarlett told our unit today that she has been a nurse for 44 years, 41 years in some capacity of management. This past 3 weeks have been more stressful than all her years put together! She was sorry she had a conference call and missed the WSH representative. She wants the WSH to know that their efforts and support during this trying and ever-changing unchartered time, is very much appreciated, welcomed and received with the warmest of a heartfelt thank you. Thank you and all the ladies for the prayers.

Women of Sacred Heart made these thank you baskets for hospital staff [ER, ICU, 4th floor which is now holding possible virus cases], to thank them for their service. The baskets were made possible by the WSH fundraisers and support of the parish.

The Women of Sacred Heart brought 2 doz. donuts each to Police & Fire Depts to thank them for their service during the crisis. The baskets were made possible by the WSH fundraisers and support of the parish.

Joan Ward is delighted to report that WSH donated 19 food baskets for the Veterans. Each basket had a food voucher of either $20 or $50. Four baskets went to veterans that were having ramps built for their homes. The remaining went to Carthage Veterans Service Office for distribution. She received a letter from the Service Office & a personal thank you note from the Jones family. This is such a rewarding & fun project - thanks to the members of WSH.

Dear Members of Women of Sacred Heart: These are the times that try mens' (and womens') souls! For us, we know we are in the hands of a loving God. All suffering is redemptive; each day is an opportunity to live our lives in service to our God and each other. St. Ignatius wrote “ Here on earth, God's work must be our own”. Perhaps this is a time when we CAN REACH OUT AND TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER....click the title to learn more.
