Share the JOY this Lent!
Living the Eucharist 2015
This is our 3rd and last year Sacred Heart will be participating in Living
the Eucharist. Living the Eucharist is a parish-based renewal
experience that fosters spiritual growth and discipleship by promoting
full, conscious and active participation in the Eucharist. Living the
Eucharist can help adults, families and teens in a parish grow in
holiness and in the Church’s mission as they come to know more
profoundly the Love of Christ in the Eucharist. In a couple of weeks we
will be passing out LE prayer cards, From Exodus to Easter: My Daily
Journey Through Lent, Family Activity Booklets and bulletin inserts. We
will also have sign-up sheets in the Narthex of the church. Our group
sessions will begin the week of Ash Wednesday. So, please look over
the sheets and sign up for a group and begin your Eucharistic spirituality
centered in the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ.
Fifth Annual Pro Life Banquet:
Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
Please join me for my Fifth Annual Pro Life Banquet, Witness for Life.
The Banquet will be held on Wednesday, March 11, 2015, at the Bossier
Civic Center beginning with registration at 5:00 PM, followed by a book
signing from 5:30-6:30 PM; dinner at 6:30 PM; and program at 7:15
PM. The cost is $60 per person or $500 per table. Funds raised will help
us increase our support to pregnant women who need support and
encouragement.
Our guest speaker will be Father Jonathan Morris, a priest of the
Diocese of New York and program director of the Catholic Channel and
analyst for Fox News. Father Morris also is an accomplished author, his
most recent book being The Way of Serenity.
With the support of our local churches, our goal is to have 1000
attendees at the Banquet, doubling last year’s attendance. Please
encourage your parishioners to attend, sponsor a table or two, or
encourage those who cannot attend to offer a donation to help defray the
banquet’s costs or to sponsor a youth who might want to attend the
banquet.
Thank you for supporting our Fifth Annual Pro Life Banquet.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
† Michael G. Duca
Bishop of Shreveport
