Thank you to everyone who prayed for, contributed to, and

and joy that reflect the very spirit of this jubilee year. Shortly after
this event we experienced a deluge of water into our
community. May this visible flood be for us a physical sign of the
equally real downpour of God's grace and mercy upon us and upon
everyone we brought in prayer to this special event.

ADDITIONAL TRIP ADDED: St. Mary Church Local Pilgrimage Bus
Trip for Jubilee “Year of Mercy”—After “selling out” their Bus Trip in
April, St. Mary Church, Lafayette, is offering an additional one-day
Pilgrimage Bus Trip on Thursday, May 19, to visit Pilgrimage Sites in
the Diocese of Lafayette designated by Bishop Michael Jarrell to reflect
on the Father’s mercy and how we can emulate that mercy in our
lives. We will attend 7:00 a.m. Mass at St. Mary Church (419 Doucet
Road, Lafayette), then depart at 7:45 a.m. from St. Mary parking lot.
We will visit, take tours and have our booklets stamped at
the Carmelite Monastery; St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church, St.
Martinville; Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, Henderson; Our
Lady of Lourdes Grotto and St. Leo Catholic Church, Leonville;
Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, Opelousas; Our Mother of
Mercy Catholic Church, Church Point; Our Mother of Mercy
Catholic Church, Rayne; and Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist,

registration details, cost and more information, please contact JoAnn
LeJune at St. Mary Church (981-3379) or Barbara Thibodeaux, Group

Married Couples - Domestic Church—Domestic Church provides
long term help and formation for sacramentally married couples who
want to grow in holiness together. What began in Poland over forty
years ago with the help and support of St. John Paul II is now available
to English speaking couples here in Louisiana. Although we know that
true holiness is supposedly possible within the midst of the daily
demands of marriage and parenthood, it can be very difficult to know
how to access it and take advantage of the fact that marriage is a
sacrament. Domestic Church gives couples and families real, concrete
help to tap into what God has in store for us in the blessed vocation of
marriage. Come and hear the exciting details of what is now available
to us through Domestic Church on May 7th at 6:30 p.m. in the Parish
Life Center at St. Pius X Catholic Church, Lafayette. Please feel free to
bring the kids! For a sneak peak, check
out domesticchurchfamilies.com or contact Jason & Laura Sowels
( 337-856-8048 or [email protected]).

Mother’s Day Prayer
Mary, on this day when we honor all mothers, we turn to you. We thank
the Lord whom you serve for the great gift of motherhood. Never has it been
known that anyone who sought your intercession was left unaided by grace.
Dear Mother, thank you for your "Yes" to the invitation of the angel which
brought heaven to earth and changed human history. You opened yourself to
God's word and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
Dear mother, intercede for all of our mothers. Ask your Divine Son to give
them the grace of surrendered love so that they could join with you in giving
their own "Fiat." May they find daily strength to say yes to the call to the
sacrificial love- the very heart of the vocation of motherhood. May their love
and witness be a source of great inspiration for all of us called to follow your
Son.
On this Mothers day, Mother of the Word Incarnate, pray for us who have
recourse to you. Amen
