Welcome…
No
matter who you are;
God wants to connect your life to the life of his Son, Jesus Christ,
crucified and raised from the dead. At Holy Redeemer, we live as members
of the Body of Christ in His One Holy, Catholic, and
Apostolic Church.
As a parish in the Diocese of Little Rock,
and in union with Bishop
Anthony B. Taylor, our bishop, we join with our Holy Father, Pope
Benedict XVI, and the Holy Catholic Church to proclaim the Lord Jesus
Christ, who has called us out of darkness, into his wonderful light---1 Peter 2:9.
In the New Testament of
the Bible, St. Paul, the Apostle, writes that Jesus Christ is the
"Yes!" to all of God's promises (2
Corinthians 1: 20). All of us need that divine "Yes!" to fill
our lives. At Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, that "Yes!" word
of the Christian Gospel stands at the center of all we do.

About Us…
Catholics
have worshiped in Union
County since the late 1800's. On Sunday, November 23, 1923, Bishop John B. Morris of
Little Rock
established Holy Redeemer Parish and dedicated the present Church. A school
opened in 1925.
Growing
during the Oil
Boom of the 1920's and 30's, our parish has remained a stable two
hundred households over the years. A transient population provides new
members as it draws off old ones. In 1999 we began an expansion to
accommodate the needs of God’s people for the Church of the twenty-first
century.
At
our address at the corner of West
Main Street and Berry Avenue in El
Dorado, Arkansas we added a narthex, choir room, Lady Chapel,
classroom, offices, library, parish hall, kitchen and rest rooms. Bishop J. Peter Sartain dedicated the facilities in January 2003.
