HOGEYE MARATHAN! - Jeff Wood is looking for volunteers for the Hogeye Marathon which takes place Saturday, April 14. Volunteers are needed to work as crossing guards from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. that day. A donation will be made to the American Wheelchair Mission for each volunteer I recruit. Last year, we earned a wheelchair for every two volunteers. Overall, the Hogeye contributed $10,000 to buy wheelchairs for needy recipients in third-world countries. Would you please help us? There is a sign-up sheet in the church vestibule on the bulletin board, or you can email me at jeff@usadman.com or call me at 479-841-6233 to volunteer. Then just show up at the church on Saturday April 14 at 8 a.m. It really is an easy way to serve our brothers and sisters much less fortunate than ourselves. Thank you.

¡Ahora es mucho más facil y simple de hacer sus donaciones! Visite nuestro servicio en linea, https://straphaelcces.weshareonline.org/ ,ahora en español.

Message from the Dioceses of Little Rock: Recent court decisions require the federal government to resume accepting applications to renew expiring DACA cases. Catholic Immigration Services in Little Rock and Springdale strongly encourages all DACA recipients to renew their Employment Authorization cards as soon as possible, if their DACA has expired or will expire within the next 150 days. This will allow recipients to keep work permits and to renew driver’s licenses for another two years. Because the future status of DACA is uncertain, the need to renew is urgent. Do not lose a chance to renew by delaying. For more information on DACA renewals and/or assistance with your renewal, call Catholic Immigration Services at (501) 664-0340 for Little Rock or (479) 927-1996 for Springdale.

Mensaje de la Diócesis de Little Rock: Recientes decisiones de la Corte requieren del gobierno federal que continúe aceptando solicitudes para renovar casos de DACA que van a vencer. Vigorosamente animamos y sugerimos a todos los jóvenes que tienen DACA que se ha vencido o que se vencerá dentro de los próximos 150 días a renovarlo ahora mismo para que no se queden sin permiso de trabajo. Esto les permitirá que puedan mantener sus permisos de trabajo y licencia de manejar por otros dos años. Debido a que el futuro estatus de DACA es incierto, la necesidad de renovar es urgente. No pierda la oportunidad de renovar al demorar. ara más información para renovar su DACA, o ayuda con su renovación, llame a Servicios Católicos de Inmigración al 501-664-0340 en Little Rock, o al 479-927-1996 en Springdale.

Bishop Anthony B. Taylor is urging all Catholics to participate in the National Catholic Call-in Day for the Protection of Dreamers today (Monday, February 26). Please call Sen. Cotton and Boozman and our U.S. representative to urge them to pass legislation to protect Dreamers from deportation. Call Sens. Cotton and Boozman through the Capitol switchboard at (855) 589-5698 and press 1 to connect to each senator. Once connected to the senators' offices, ask the person on the phone to deliver this message to the legislator: "I urge you to support a bipartisan, and humane solution for Dreamers: Protect Dreamers from deportation and provide them with a path to citizenship. Reject proposals that undermine family immigration or protections for unaccompanied children. As a Catholic, I know that families are not 'chains,' but a blessing to be protected. Act now to protect Dreamers, our immigrant brothers and sisters." Also call our representative dialing (855) 589-5698 to reach the Capitol switchboard and press 2. Once connected to the representative's office, ask the person on the phone to deliver the same message to the legislator. https://www.dolr.org/article/national-catholic-callin-day-feb-26
