Holy SoulsParish’sCAPITALCAMPAIGNPRAYER
One for All: All for OneBy Fr. John Marconi
Most of us recognize the slogan of the Three Musketeers. The Musketeers were thespecial protectors of the King and his property and interest. The slogan reminded themto always be united in all they did for the King. As a people of faith, when we unite forour King, Jesus, there is nothing that can’t be accomplished.
Our Capital Campaign slogan, One Faith, One Family, Growing Together, is thatfor us here at Our Lady of the Holy Souls. United together, everyone doing their part,there is nothing that we cannot accomplish. It continues to amaze me how much hap-pens here with so few of our families committed (tithing) to our Parish and our School.
The Capital Campaign is very revealing in many ways. If you attended a receptionfor the Campaign you heard me say that only about 12% of our Parish are true stewards.This means that only 12% of the parish are committed, faithful stewards that give everyweek or month through tithing, and they are also actively involved in the life of theChurch.
I would love for our Parish to move towards being a Total Stewardship Parish.Stewardship is the best way to show our love by giving our Time, Talent and Treasureback to God. While the Stewardship of treasure is necessary for parish operations, equallyimportant are Time and Talent, including stewardship of prayer and ministry.
Again, look at how God has blessed those who do understand and are good stew-ards. I continue to pray more parishioners will become more active in the parish. Thisbegins by understanding God’s call in our life and learning to follow in the footsteps ofJesus. Tithing is just one aspect of those who follow Jesus. We willingly give because weunderstand how good God has been to us and it’s our way of reciprocating God’s bless-ing.
The stewardship teaching is all throughout the scriptures. Paul refers to it in hisletter to the Romans, “We recognize all we have belongs to God and we cheerfully giveof our time, talents and resources for God’s glory.” Romans, 12:1-2.
The Bible is a book about giving and has more promises related to giving than to anyother subject. For example, the subject of “believing” appears 272 times; “prayer” 371times; and “love” 714 times; while “giving” is mentioned 2,162 times! Jesus talked moreabout giving than anything else; more than half of the parables have to do with moneyand worldly goods.
Giving is also emphasized by our Saints, like St. Francis of Assisi, who said, “For itis in giving that we receive.” Or as St. Paul states in 2 Corinthians, “Remember this—ifyou give little, you will get little. A farmer who plants just a few seeds will get only asmall crop, but if he plants much, he will reap much.”
One example of how this plays out in our midst is in the latest art project from ourSchool. Art teacher, Mrs. Kelly Vogelgesang, had the wonderful idea of creating a muralon our playground. With her help, the beautiful mural was created and represents thedifferent faces, ministries and generations who are united to make us One Faith, OneFamily, Growing Together.

Saying Goodbye is Such Sweet SorrowBy Terri Kelly, Director of Marketing, Holy Souls School
(continued on next page)
Thursday, May 31st is the last day of school for the year.It is also the last day the principal of Holy Souls will cel-ebrate with our students. After 30 years as an educator,spending 27 of those years in the hallways and classroomsof our school, Ileana Dobbins will be moving on to a newchapter in her life.
Mrs. Dobbins always knew she would work in educa-tion and has that internal drive to accomplish goals at thehighest level. After graduating from Hamburg High Schoolshe enrolled at the U of A declaring a major in education.Although she loved being home with her family that inter-nal drive persisted and she knew would have to move tofulfill her ambitions. She accepted her first teaching job with the Little Rock SchoolDistrict teaching a 5th/6th split classroom for a semester then moved to ImmaculateConception in North Little Rock for one year. She moved to Holy Souls School for the1989-90 school year where she taught 6th grade for eight years and has fond memories ofher time in the classroom. She recalled one particular day when she had everyone quietlyworking. All of a sudden, one of the boys jumped out of his desk and started breakdancing like Michael Jackson. She said, “I usually have good control over my students butwhat was I supposed to do with that? I just laughed. Funny thing is he never did anythinglike that before or after, but that day he created a memory.”
While teaching, Mrs. Dobbin’s drive to succeed persisted and she found herself en-rolled in the Master’s program at UCA. There she received her Master Degree in SchoolCounseling. Having already gained experience teaching in the classroom she felt the needto explore the career of counseling so that next year she left Holy Souls and accepted aschool counseling position for the North Little Rock School District. She had gottensettled in and was in her second year of counseling students when she received a call thatwould bring her back to the place she now calls home.
In 1998 the principal of Holy Souls called Mrs. Dobbins and asked her to come backas the assistant principal. Satisfied, but not quite finished, she attended UALR and re-ceived her Educational Leadership for Building Level Principal certificate. Five yearslater, she found herself in the chair of the principal. Rarely does someone get to influenceso many people’s lives in a positive way, fostering optimism and confidence, while pro-viding knowledge that leads to success as Mrs. Dobbins has during her fifteen years asprinciple.
She has not only impacted the lives of students, she has also touched the lives of theteachers and staff at Holy Souls.
“She has been a strong leader and my “go to” with school or personal problems! She is dependableand steady in dealing with children and I have always relied on her for guidance!” Mrs. Korte
“Some of my best memories of Mrs. Dobbins involved the talent show. One year a group of usdressed up like MC Hammer. We wore “hammer pants” with a shirt that had our nicknames. ( I wasDaBratch.) Another year, we were all nuns and did songs from Sister Act. She also joined us for a routinebefore the teacher/student basketball game. One year we made up a routine to the music of High SchoolMusical and performed it at halftime.” Mrs. Bratcher
“The thing I remember most is when I told her that I was going to have a baby. She was so excited.There I was worried about time away from my class and those responsibilities, and she is literallyjumping up and cheering for Joe and me.” Mrs. Finch

“One thing I have always appreciated about Ileana is her true friendship and caring for each ofus. When my parents were in their final years and moving on to Heaven, Ileana would frequently checkwith me to see how things were going. Her genuine interest and concern for me, even beyond our schoollife, was greatly appreciated.” Mrs. Miller
“I’m trying to absorb all the moments,” saidMrs. Dobbins.
Among her proudest accomplishments is thecommunity of family she established within theschool. “One thing that helps make this happen isthat we are fortunate enough to offer so many dif-ferent experiences for our students. I just love watch-ing the Jr High play. Every year I see at least onestudent come out of their shell and perform. It justblows me away,” she says smiling. Knowing, “thaton some small level, I played a part in the lives ofthe many students that have passed through ourdoors.”
Assistant principal Nancy Handloser, who hasworked at Holy Souls School since the spring semester of 1990, will step into the principal’sposition. If you ask her what she looks forward to she will simply tell you, “I’m lookingforward to continuing to build community, as Ileana has always done. I hope to nurture ourfamilies in their faith as well as foster academic success.” She feels she has learned from thebest so she will continue to strive for the best.
From the morning announcements on that first day as principal until the last bell onMay 31st we have laughed, we have cried, and we will cherish all the memories made withMrs. Dobbins.
Mrs. Dobbins’ promise to her studentslast school yearl
The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, Andbe gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.(Numbers 6: 24-26)

Grateful Stewards of God’s Gifts . . .by Laura G. Humphries, CT
Parish Life & Stewardship Director
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,where moth and decay destroy,and thieves break in and steal.
Matthew 6:19
When I was a child, I used to frustrate my parents — so they told me later — becausewhen asked what I wanted for Christmas, I would shrug and say that I couldn’t think ofanything. I told them that whatever they gave me would be all right.
I don’t share this so you can file it away in my canonization file: “Even as a child, sheeschewed the false glitter of the world…” Far from it! I do have earthly treasures towhich I cling. Mine are just experiences rather than things. I may try to hook spiritualrationales onto my wanderlust and curiosity. But, the truth is, they’re as limited as anymaterial object, and I need to regularly let Jesus remind me of that. It’s not only things wecan touch that can become false treasures, distracting us from the Lord, whose love neverfades.
An excerpt from Living Faith
Everyone likes nice things, we all want to be comfortable in our homes and sur-roundings. When we have a nice home or car or clothes it shows that we are successful.We must be doing something right. There may be some of us that have these things andare a little over-extended, but we all want creature comforts. We have to be sure that wedon’t let the “want” for these things consume us and rule us. We don’t want it to becomea priority in our lives that we have everything that everyone else has when it comes tomaterial possessions. We don’t want false treasures. We want lasting treasures, things thatwon’t get old or worn out, won’t decay or fall apart. We want an everlasting love withJesus. We want that relationship that will carry us through when things don’t go the waywe want them to, when the bottom drops out or a sickness comes that we cannot beat.We want to know that this relationship will bring us to the one that promises to make lifenew, that will give us everlasting life. That relationship is the one true treasure.
We can all have a close relationship with Jesus. It does take time and prayer. It takesself-determination and self-examination. It takes more than an hour a week at mass. It issort of like playing a sport that we love, if we love something we want to do it all thetime. Daily prayer, reading Scripture, helping the less fortunate, serving others as Christdid, serving in our community, spending time at adoration, these are all good ways todeepen your relationship with Jesus. These are the things that can become priorities to us,this is where we can over-extend ourselves, this is what can consume us, these things canbuild an everlasting treasure for us.
Encounter Jesus, Serve Others

We are proud to announce Holy Souls has successfully completed its first year ofthe Walking with Purpose program! The first bible study, Opening Your Heart, was a 22-session course that integrated Scripture with the teaching of the Roman Catholic Churchto point us to principles that helps us manage life’s pace and pressure while living withcalm and steadiness. We discussed questions such as “Who is the Holy Spirit?”, “Howcan I conquer my fears?” and “What is the role of suffering in my life?”.
WWP is a great program for a wide range of individuals, from someone who hasnever participated in a bible study all the way to seasoned veterans. We are all at differ-ent points in our spiritual journey and God meets each one of us where we are.
Holy Souls participants have said:
“I love that our families range in age sothat there’s always someone a step ahead tohelp navigate and it’s always so fun to listenand learn all the different ways we are run-ning just to survive each day. I always feel soat peace when I leave.”
“This group has given me the courage toopenly discuss my faith with others of otherfaiths and not feel as though I have to defendbeing Catholic. I am proud of my faith.”
“I have, because of participating, beenencouraged to bring the Scriptures home to myfamily and discuss them at the dinner tableand share what I have learned with them.”
Registration for the next Walkingwith Purpose bible study will be in Au-gust and the first sessions will start inSeptember. The morning session meetson Tuesdays at 8:30am and the eveningsession is Wednesdays at 6:00pm. Freechildcare is available for both sessionsand WWP follows the school calendar.

Painting A Bright Future
Soon the hallway walls were full of submis-sions from the students to be included in the mu-ral.
This exercise truly engaged students to com-municate with their peers about their school anddiscuss topics important to them. One studentthought it was crucial to include Josie, the HolySouls cat. Another chose pizza because he lovespizza day.
After the deadline, Kelly gathered all submis-sions and began putting the pieces of the puzzletogether to create one huge mural. Once theweather was warm enough she and her husbandprepared the wall and outlined each icon withinthe mural. Blue was used to fill in the sky, then therest was up to the students and Holy Souls community. Using the paint provided and afew guidelines from Kelly, the project began taking shape. Day by day the playgroundgot brighter and brighter and within a few weeks the mural was complete.
The piece of art is not hidden on a shelf or stashed away in a folder. It is on displayat any time of any day for anyone to see. A mural can communicate what a schoolcommunity values, appreciates, or wants to see for the future. Not only does the finalproduct beautify and uplift the space, it gives a sense of ownership back to the studentsand other participants. A school willing to give students the chance to decorate theiracademic space with their own collaborative artistic rigor is a school nourishing positivecommunity culture.
By Terri Kelly, Director of Marketing, Holy Souls School
Kelly Vogelegsang is an alumni of Holy Souls. Now married with two children,Kelly finds herself back in the same hallways she frequented many years ago. Last yearKelly accepted an offer to teach art for the school. “It just feels like home,” she said, andthe school could not be more thankful.
With a year of teaching under her belt she began looking for ways to build a sense ofcommunity and pride by connecting her lessons to the world outside of the classroom.Last summer she was fortunate enough to win a scholarship to the ShakeRags workshopin Sewanee, TN. There, she attended a workshop by Andee Rudloff, whose goal was tohave attendees consider how to take different approaches to personal connections andexpression in order to create unique designs. Kelly was inspired and decided she wasgoing to develop a piece of art that included everyone’s unique ideas using as she calledit, the “Rudloff method.”
The school year began and Kelly was full of inspiration and ideas. She began devis-ing a plan that would require the use of a concrete wall on the playground. Once ap-proved, Kelly put the “Rudloff method” into play and began the creation of the HolySouls community mural. The assignment for parents and students alike was to think offive words that describe the Holy Souls community. She asked everyone to use wordsthat describe their faith, an emotion associated with the school or church, or a word thatrepresents a specific memory of the Holy Souls community. Then she requested that itbe narrowed down to the one about which the person would be most passionate. Oncethey had the word, she had them draw a small ICON on the worksheet and submit it tothe school. Kelly chose a saltshaker.

My Reflection on My “Re-Awakening” to the Holy Spirit
by MaryAnn Stafford
Years ago, I felt that my faith was superficial and I was not experiencing Jesus as apersonal savior, so I began praying for a deeper faith. My prayers were answered in aseries of vivid dreams, the first in which I saw a brilliant light in one corner of my room,and I knew it was a vision of Jesus. I walked toward it, but Jesus warned me not to comeany closer – I was not ready for that. He then told me I would have to face Satan. Itscared me, and I said, “No, no, please not that.” Later on, I realized that the devil was notsome monster in a red suit, but was within me—my own sins had to be recognized andconfessed before I could get closer to Jesus.
I did that, and then over a period of about four years, I had some inner locutions(God’s voice in my mind) while in prayer. In particular, He told me He would take careof a certain situation that was causing me pain, and He did. I could tell you several otherexamples of what Jesus had to say to me, and what he asked me to do, and I listened andobeyed. These inner statements from God only came while I was praying, so I knew theywere true messages.
Since then, Jesus has not personally spoken to me, but I am always aware that myprayers have been answered, even though it may not be immediately. In addition, I prayto the Holy Spirit for guidance in my daily activities and He leads me to the right answersand actions. Since my husband died five years ago I felt called to facilitate grief supportgroups. I have now been doing this for more than four years both at Holy Souls inpartnership with Laura Humphries, and at the Senior Center in Maumelle. It is amazinghow the Holy Spirit helps me to ask the right questions, to listen and adapt, to find justthe right articles and prayers, and generally keeps me from making mistakes. I could notdo this without His assistance. In addition, I am aware of how certain events, conversa-tions with others, dreams, and what I read, especially in the Scriptures all come togetherto lead me in His will. I listen and I obey. An example of this follows:
In 2003, I dreamt about being in a class of lay people becoming Benedictine Oblates.I had no idea at that time what an oblate was, but I went on the internet and learned whatit was. In March, I went to the parish mission which focused on centering prayer andlectio divina. Then I saw an announcement about a retreat on ‘centering prayer’ at St.Scholastica, which is a Benedictine monastery in Ft. Smith, as I found out when I at-tended. I read more about the Rule of St. Benedict.
As an artist, I was then commissioned to do a watercolor painting of someone’shouse that included the words from St. Benedict’s rule on hospitality. I saw an advertise-ment for the book, Radical Hospitality, so I bought it and read it. Next, I volunteered tobe a mentor for women who were transitioning from county jail. This lasted for a year,and I did it because I felt it epitomized the rule of hospitality. I became a Stephen Minis-

ter and later took on the role of leadership. When asked to do a talk for Stephen Ministers,I did it on the rule of hospitality.
The next year, I got an invitation from St. Joseph Abbey in Covington, LA for a pastelworkshop by Alan Flattman. Since it was a Benedictine monastery, I went to the weeklongworkshop. I learned more about the Oblates and the monks there from a young monk whovisited with us. I also bought my first copy of the Rule of St. Benedict and studied it.
In 2005, I went to my first Benedictine Oblate retreat in Subiaco, and became a nov-ice. I made my profession in 2006, and am now a full-fledged Oblate. I attend a retreat atleast once a year and try to live the Rule as best I can in my current life.
Today, I rely on the Holy Spirit to guide me in all my undertakings. I notice that if Iforget to do this, I make stupid mistakes. I pray, I listen, I observe – it I always amazinghow things come together for me now that I have a personal relationship with Jesus.
Perhaps one of the greatest things about God is that He/She is unchanging. He is thesame in all times and circumstances. We humans fear change, but it happens. We have nocontrol over it. Our loved ones die, our bodies get weak and sickly, our friends disappear,our looks disintegrate, we lose our jobs, our money, our families – but God is always there.He is the one solid secure, stable being in all existence. And He loves us.

First Communion 2018By Kay Kay DeRossette, Director of Youth Faith Formation
Forty-seven Holy Souls families began preparing for their children’s First Holy Com-munion last August. This year families had the opportunity to participate in First Com-munion Connect Groups. In September, groups of five to seven First Communion fami-lies began to meet once a month. During the Connect Group meetings one parent taughtthe group a lesson from Dynamic Catholic’s First Communion and First Reconciliationcurriculum, Blessed. Connect Groups allow families one night a month to build commu-nity, share a meal, and grow in faith.
“Our First Communion connect group was an opportunity for parents to share our own experiencesabout our faith and our personal relationship with God with our children. I’ve seen an increase in mydaughter’s, Bella Robbins (7), desire to pray; share; and read bible stories after participating in theConnect Group with her friends.” -Kelsey Robbins, Connect Group Leader
In February the group made their First Reconciliation. Before and after reconcilia-tion, the kids participated in interactive stations in the Parish Hall. Children moved fromexperiment to experiment participating and interacting in various sacrament stations in-cluding “What does confession feel like”, “Confession looks like”, and “Confession tastelike”. Candidates were also able to create themed arts and crafts from sacrament sta-tions-Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation.
April 14th was a busy afternoon in the Benedict House where over twenty familiesmet for the First Communion Banner Decorating Party. During this time parents helpedtheir children bring their faith to life through the creation and decoration of expressivefirst communion banners. The banners were on display in the vestibule April 28th and29th. The Banners were hung on each candidate’s pew during their First CommunionMass.
The First Communion Candidates and their parents attended a retreat on April 21st.During the retreat families gathered in prayer and grew in community. They were re-minded of the important role the Eucharist plays in our lives as Catholics. Children wereencouraged to bring Jesus to the world following their Frist Communion. The retreat wasan enjoyable day for all of the families in attendance.
Finally, on May 5th and 6th, 47 children received their First Holy Communion at OurLady of the Holy Souls Catholic Church. If you would like to get involved with our FirstCommunion team at Our Lady of the Holy Souls Catholic Church, please contact KayKay DeRossette in the Church Office.

What Can I DoBy Al Malzewski, Immediate Past President of Holy Souls Men’s Club
When my family and I moved to Little Rock (or in my wife’s case, back to Little Rock), Iwanted to meet people outside of work, and help make a difference in the community. I startedasking people which group I should join, and where I should volunteer to make a difference.Very quickly, the Men’s Club became an answer that was repeated by several of my close familyand friends. Soon after I bumped into Pete Stabnick, who is often credited with bringing inmore than three quarters of the Men’s Club members, and he reminded me that the next meet-ing was coming up on the 2nd Monday of the month. I attended one meeting, then another, butthen I missed several before I came back for another. I don’t remember exactly what enticed meto start going to the monthly meetings on a regular basis, or what got me to raise my hand orvolunteer for this event or the other, but looking back after all these years, I think it must havebeen the fellowship and the great guys that I met along the way that got me going back again andagain.
Back then when I missed a few meetings, it didn’t truly matter because once I returned, thesame great guys were there to catch up with, and the opportunities to give back to the parishwere still there, and I could pick right back up where I left off. The Men’s Club has such a greatgroup of guys that consistently covers for one another and makes sure that the work gets done,that people of our parish get fed and have a great time, and we all pitch in together to make surethe work gets done.
How many Men’s Club members do you think it takes to feed dinner to 1,500 Catholics (orguests) during Lent on three Fridays? How many Men’s Club members do you think it takes tofeed and entertain 800 of our closest friends at our annual Shrimp and Oyster Dinner in Januaryeach year? How many members do you think it takes to host the annual Robert Flynn MemorialGolf Tournament each year in May to fund student scholarships? How many members does ittake to fulfill our annual teachers’ wish list, or to help the boy scouts, girl scouts, CYM, buildingsand grounds, or the Monsignor Allen Trust and Development fund?
The answer is: it takes all of us.The good news though is that not every member is needed all the time. We have such a
great group of guys that all we ask is that you show up once in a while and help out when youcan. Start by emailing [email protected] and adding your email address to our list. Then,we would love for you to join us at a meeting when you are able. If you can’t come, don’t sweatit. Join us when you can. If we have an event or a volunteer opportunity that you can lend yourtime and talent towards, we would love to have you. If you already have plans, we’ll try to catchyou for the next event. All we ask is that you show up if you can, help out when you are able,and catch us next time if this meeting or event doesn’t work out.
We don’t have any dues, just an email list to help keep everyone informed and connected.We even added child care during our meetings to help those families with little ones. The nexttime you ask yourself: What Can I Do? Think about the Men’s Club. We host a variety ofevents, support a wide range of organizations, and give back to the parish and community insuch a unique way. I’m sure you will find something that will be meaningful and worthwhile ofyour time and efforts.
During Lent, the Men’s Club served three Fish Frys.

O Jesus, I pray for Yourfaithful and ferventpriests; for Yourunfaithful and tepidpriests; for Your priestslaboring at home orabroad in distant missionfields; for Your temptedpriests; for Your lonelyand desolate priests; forYour young priests; forYour dying priests; forthe souls of Your priestsin purgatory.
But above all,I recommend to Youthe priests dearestto me; the priest whobaptized me; the priestswho absolved me frommy sins; the priests atwhose masses Iassisted and who gaveme Your Body and Bloodin Holy Communion; thepriests who taught andinstructed me; all thepriests to whom I amindebted in any otherway. O Jesus, keep themall close to Your heart,and bless them abun-dantly in time and ineternity. Amen.

for Priestsby Denise Morbit, Director of Youth Ministry
Happy summer from CYM! What a faith-filled winter we have had through youthministry. During Lent, the teens, under the direction and assistance of Dwain Hebda,
Seder Meal at CYM
presented one Friday’s Stations of theCross. Their witnesses to how importantfaith is to them in their daily ups anddowns was a beautiful testimony.
Our third annual CYM Seder Mealtook place during Holy Week – somethingthe teens look forward to. I find it joyfulto set up the Menorah in the same spaceas the Crucifix - the center of the reclinedtables - as we celebrate the completionof the God’s covenant with us in Jesus,
Easter Wabbit andegg hunters at the
annual CYM Hunt!
and reflect on our powerful salvation history.Calvin Zawislak was the Easter Wabbit this year for the CYM
sponsored parish egg hunt. The looming rain didn’t stop the kidsfrom hiding eggs for the little ones! Over 40 children participatedafter the 10:30 Easter Sunday Mass.
A small group attended the Catholic State Youth Conventionat the DoubleTree and Robinson Convention Center this April(moved for the first year in history to a new weekend besidesMother’s Day). We were entertained and catechized by Nun andNunner and Apex Ministries. Our own Sophie Mammarelli madea video of the weekend posted on the Holy Souls Facebook page!
The Jr. High began meeting every Thursday night af-ter spring break. In April, the American Lung Associationcame to speak to the youth about the dangers of vaping,outlining the new ploy of the tobacco companies to lureyouth to an addiction. Unfortunately, it’s working, andthe number of teen vapers is on the rise. The Jr. HighCYM also worked on a bean soup project for the HelpingHand clients. They packed over 40 jars of multi-layeredbeans and a special seasoning blend with recipe to be givenout. The last meeting of the school year was a fun out-door cookout with games. They enjoyed the burgers aswell as the egg toss and mostly the water “games” and

There are 14 youth now signed up togo to the Steubenville Convention in Dal-las as well as Fr. Francis, Sr. Laura, twomoms, and myself. We had several suc-cessful fundraising events including theenvelopes of giving and a bake sale. Wewill be staying at the University of Dallasin the dorms so we are able to get there aday early and still save money. The youthare especially looking forward to Fr. MikeSchmitz (check him out on Ascension Pre-sents videos).
There was a great turn out of bothCYM groups to help honor our auction itemdonated to the Altar Society. For the sec-ond year, Wendy and Ritchie Butler boughtthe Mardi Gras item and had the teensweed, putdown plastic and mulch and raketheir yard for three hours on a Saturday inMay. I love the connection we have madethrough the years with the different fami-lies who buy this item. It’s a great way toconnect the teens with parishioners they
In April the CYM held a Steubenville Bake Sale.
CYM donation to Altar Societywas yard work for the Butler family
whose winning bid got the service!normally wouldn’t know.
We celebrated the seniors – Breanna Racher, Katelyn McKinney, Emily Hester, CarolStover, and Lee Tucker – with our send-off prayer ceremony. We had a great end ofschool year cookout (thank you, Kiff Egle, for grilling) for the Sr. High but without thebackyard water games due to the rain storm. The biannual Coffee and Cramming justfinished – three afternoons of the Benedict House being opened to allow the teens acomfortable study place with snacks and wifi to prepare for finals.
Summer is booked – a lock-in/overnight retreat to welcome the upcoming freshmento high school CYM, days of service, the float trip to Jasper, Stebenville Lone Star, andthe McGehee Mission trip. And that’s just June.
Life Teen will be coming to our CYM at Holy Souls. I’ll be attending a training work-shop in September. And a coach will be provided to me/the parish for a year to make thisnew ministry dynamic a success here. As with all Holy Souls’ ministries, the new approachis seeking to better engage teens in their faith. I will no longer be teaching Religion at HolySouls School so that I can really immerse in this new direction. Please pray for me, ouryouth ministry, and mostly our youth.

Heartfelt Testimonies Tell the Real Story of Holy Sews
Holy Sews is committed to this cause,
Our mission is multi-faceted, but the real essence of it is to provide some semblanceof comfort to families experiencing the perinatal death of a child. We do this by providingbeautiful handmade layettes to treasure the tiny infants who are born too soon. Wewould like to share some of the testimonies from parents who, even in their brokenness,take the time to tell us how the Holy Sews layette made a difference.
On Wednesday morning I found out my sweet baby no longer had a heartbeat. My doctor scheduledme to have my baby the next day. I had my sweet angel at 11:25 pm April 26th, 2018. I have neverexperienced pain of this magnitude before, but your gift to us of tiny clothing and blanket and teddymade it possible for me to hold him and love on him even though he was so very fragile. Thank you somuch for this gift and your program for others going through the worst day of their life. I will cherisheverything forever, thank you so much from the bottom of my broken heart.
Neriah Grace was born alive, in caul kicking. We had all of two minutes with her before theLord carried her home. Those two minutes changed our lives forever. The nurse brought in a pink androsette Holy Sews layette to dress Neriah. That also changed my life. Here was an outward sign thatNeriah did exist… That she did matter…That because she had died, meant she had lived. It wassomething we could see and hold, on a day we felt we had lost it all.
Your organization’s contributions go above and beyond, as these intricate little bundles of handi-work are very moving. It is definitely much more than just cotton and yarn, stitches and ribbons . . . itis love. Love for those parents who are desperately hurting. Love for the cherished babies who areGod’s gift, who should really be considered a gain, and not a loss, as someone shared with me in theinitial days following our heartbreak. Our twin sons and their big sister are precious angels in heaven.They are forever with us, and although our arms are empty here on earth, we will always be parents.
We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to all of the hard-working, dedicatedvolunteers of the Holy Sews ministry. Thank you for starting such a wonderful organization. We aregrateful that your idea to properly dress micro preemies has made its way all across Arkansas andbeyond. Thanks to all of the bereavement programs in the many medical centers that pass on your itemsto grieving families. We are truly honored that our dearly loved little boys were dressed in your thought-fully made attire. We have been blessed and deeply touched by your organization.
