UPCOMING CATHOLIC EVENTS ACROSS LOUISIANA ARE SHOWN BELOW

THE SPOTLIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON:

HOLY PRIESTS JUST DON'T HAPPEN!

St. John Vianney stated, "When people wish to destroy religion, they begin by attacking the priest because where there is no priest, there is no sacrifice." Our priests need our help if they are to persevere in the midst of these diabolical attacks upon the true Church. This is how the spiritual battle unfolds - with quiet prayers and sacrifices for each other. Together we are the Church, and "the gates of hell will not prevail against it." There are times when our prayers must go public. Therefore, we see events such as Eucharistic Processions in public streets and waterways. Therefore, we see scripture prayed from cover to cover in public areas. Therefore, we see rosaries prayed on the corners of streets by large numbers of Catholics across South Louisiana.

LET'S PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTS!

VOCATIONS COME FROM PRAYER AND ARE FORMED IN PRAYER

We are again reaching out to the faithful of Houma-Thibodaux Diocese. Now, more than ever our priests need our prayers. Now, more than ever we need to unite as a Church in prayerful support for each other. As a Church, we need to beg God for His grace for our shepherds and spiritual fathers and future priests. As you know, our priests are under constant spiritual attack by the enemy and need our prayerful support. This should not be news to us. For hundreds of years, the clergy have been the first targets of spiritual warfare. If the priesthood is damaged, the entire Church is therefore automatically damaged. We look to our priests and the authority that resides within the priesthood. To read more about the history behind this warfare that is uniquely staged in the battlefield of Louisiana, click here.

Good priests need help! We are obligated to help!

THE SPIRITUAL PRAYER WARRIORS OF THE HOUMA-THIBODAUX DIOCESE are again in the process of assigning prayer partners for each of the priest and seminarians in the diocese. If you would like to spiritually adopt a priest and/or seminarian, please click on the email below. If you would like to continue praying for the priest and/or seminarian you have already been assigned, that's fine as well, just let us know. Otherwise, we will just assign a priest to you randomly.

Occasionally, we will hold prayer nights of adoration and reflection specifically for the needs our priests. Once enrolled, you will receive an email notification of these events as they are scheduled.

LAKE CHARLES

THE CATHEDRAL OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

“Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist” is a 4-week study that explores the truth and beauty of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture, to its profound role in the life of the Church and her members. Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the “source and summit” of the Christian life. It is the crescendo of the entire story of salvation. Join us every Tuesday (October 9, 16, 23 & 30) at 6:00 PM in the Ave Maria Hall. To watch the trailer about this movie, click here.

METAIRIE

Fr. Kevin Scallon, a Vincentian priest from Ireland, passed into the arms of the Heavenly Father on Monday, June 25, 2018, at his home in Florida. Fr. Kevin is known and loved around the world for his ministry to priests as well as for his work with the laity. He also served as a seminary spiritual director and missionary in Africa. Over 40 years ago he founded the Intercession for Priests which has spread to many countries. Just before his death, he had been ministering at the Intercession for Priests in Europe.

Since 1985, Fr Kevin and Sr. Briege McKenna, OSC, have traveled the globe preaching the Gospel and praying for healing with great effectiveness. Everyone who met Fr. Kevin was impressed by his humility, holiness, generosity, wisdom and wit. His book, I Will Come Myself, is an inspiring insight into the ministry of Jesus. He has several beautiful rosary CDs done with his sister-in-law Dana. Fr. Kevin has also written many moving prayers, two of which are included on the prayer card copied below. A downloadable version is on our website.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of this outstanding and saintly priest, Fr. Kevin Scallon. Pray for the consolation of his large family and many friends. Pray too for Sr. Briege, his faithful co-worker and friend for many decades.
