Dear Sacred Heart Family,
I hope and pray you and your families are safe and healthy. In this time of uncertainty the one thing we can be sure of if the love our Lord has for each one of us. Thou we may not see now, we know that in the midst of the tragedy of so much sickness and hardships, of loss of jobs and security, we know that He knows our sorrows and what is happening with each of us and his promise that he will be with us in it all, is a constant source of comfort and truth. He is with us and some things we will never know until we get to the other side. Due to the coronavirus we postponed the mission with Cardinal Rigali in Jenerette, LA and also postponed the mission at Our Lady of Fatima in Alcoa, TN. Please keep these missions in your prayers as they will be rescheduled.
During this time, we have the opportunity to draw closer to our Lord in the silence we have been given.
Mother Mary is our perfect role model as one who said “Yes” to her son and our savior, may we do the same and look to Mother Mary for her wisdom and intercession during this time and pray for our world as we go through this together. I have no doubt we will come out of this stronger and more committed and faithful to the God who loves us than ever before. Please know that you are all in our prayers and we are here for you.
“Our Lady of the Rosary…Pray for us!”
“Most Sacred Heart of Jesus…Have mercy on us!”
Peace in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Lisa

On December 19th 2019 during the week of the O antiphons “ Oh come! Oh come Emanuel!” the Knights of Columbus Council 1425 of St. John the Evangelist Church in Jeanerette, Louisiana invited Jesus to come into their hearts as they enthroned their organization to the Sacred Heart of Jesus with a very special mass celebrated by the Most Reverend J. Douglas Deshotel, D.D. Bishop of Lafayette. We were also very blessed to have the Bishop stand in the lead role as facilitator of the enthronement ceremony itself. After the ceremony Bishop Deshotel shook his finger at me and said “keep doing this “Our Lafayette diocese is truly blessed to have such a wonderful Bishop with a beautiful deep devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and we the apostolate are so grateful for his support of our ministry.
