This annual observance is being held Jan. 29-Feb. 5 in Catholic schools nationwide focusing on the theme: "Catholic Schools: Faith. Academics. Service." Visit the National Catholic Educational Association to learn more or read Arkansas Catholic to see how our Catholic schools are celebrating the week with special events and programs. 2012 CASA campaign starts Feb. 4-5 The 2012 Catholic Arkansas Sharing Appeal begins Feb. 4-5 in parishes across the state. A recorded homily from Bishop Anthony B. Taylor will be played at all Masses in English and Spanish. Pledge cards will be handed out asking parishioners to meet this year's $2 million goal. The theme, "Open Your Hearts in Welcome," comes from and ties into the initiative Bishop Taylor launched last September identifying his top four priorities to focus on through March 2013. In his homily, he stressed the need to support CASA so the goals of the "Open Your Hearts" initiative can come to fruition. "Your donations to CASA support many diocesan and parish programs that would not be possible without your support, for example: youth and campus ministry, the Clergy Welfare Fund, used to support our retired and infirmed priests who are no longer in the active ministry, and grants to schools and religious education programs. CASA also pays part of the education of our seminarians." Watch, listen or read the homily or find other resources in English and Spanish.

World Day for Consecrated Life to be Feb. 5 In 1997, Pope John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, Feb. 2. This feast, traditionally called Candlemas, is celebrated 40 days after Christmas and recalls when Mary and Joseph presented Jesus to God in the temple. During this Mass, candles are blessed symbolizing Christ, the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Christ to all people. If you think you may be called to religious life, learn about religious orders in Arkansas or read about others like you. World Day for Consecrated Life is celebrated on Sunday, Feb. 5 to highlight the gift of consecrated persons for the whole Church. Please pray for all religious on this day and thank them for their dedication and commitment. Ministry Spotlight Catholic Arkansas Sharing Appeal Catholic Arkansas Sharing Appeal began in 1990 to provide critical funding for the pastoral, educational and social needs of the Diocese of Little Rock. Through the generosity of Catholics from across the state, we have been able to help the poor, developing parishes, Catholic schools, youth and campus ministries as well as help educate deacons, lay ministers and seminarians.
