Sam is doing great. Thank you for all your prayers. I am trying to make sure that everyone knows about her status. There have been e-mails, updates on FB, phone calls and texts. Sam feels really good, and she thinks that this procedure might just and done the trick. I will update more later.
God is very good!

Mardi Gras Party
Don't forget the Mardi Gras party at Christ Memorial tonight starting at 6 PM. The food and the company will be great.
Ash Wednesday is tomorrow (and that is a traditional day of fasting), and we will have Mass with Imposition of Ashes at Noon and 7 PM.
Lent is a time of penitential preparation in anticipation of Easter. Now is the time to decide on what you will give up and what you will take on during this season. Many choose to give up a type of food or an activity during Lent, and that is a great way to refocus our attention on God. But it is also very important to take on something that will bring us closer to Him. Maybe that is a daily reading of Scripture. Maybe it is reading a book by C.S. Lewis or G.K. Chesterton or St. Augustine or N.T. Wright. Personally, I am going to sit down with C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity.
Lent is also a time of reflection, examination and repentance. We take this opportunity to consider and to confess all that which has separated us from the God and turn away from those things, setting ourselves, with God's unbounded Grace and Love, on a new path towards Him.
I am available to hear Confessions, by appointment. Please call me at 318-840-9196.

What Do I Do If I Need to Talk to the Priest?
Dear Reader, the simple answer is to pick up the phone and give me a call. Part of my vocation, a large part of my vocation, is to be available to those who need me. That is my desire, to be available and responsive to anyone who may have a simple question and to someone who may need help with a crisis. If either of those, or any number of other issues, is the case, then please don't hesitate to call me.
My numbers are: 840-9196 (cell)
872-1144 (church office)
872-1237 (rectory)
My scheduled office hours during the week are:
Monday: 9-12
Tuesday: 10-12
Wednesday: 9-5
Thursday: 9-12
Friday: By appointment
I am setting aside on my schedule Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons to make scheduled pastoral visits to parishioners at home or in hospital. Additionally, I am available on Friday by appointment.
If you, or someone you know needs a visit or to have Communion brought to them at home, please let me know so I can schedule a recurring visitation schedule with them.
Please also know that in the case of an emergency, I am available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. My door is always open and my cell phone is always on.
