PLENARY INDULGENCE DURING THE YEAR OF CONSECRATED LIFE!

On the occasion of this special Year, Pope Francis has conceded plenary indulgences, under the customary conditions: the individual be in the state of grace by the completion of the acts, have complete detachment from sin, and pray for the Pope’s intentions. The person must also sacramentally confess their sins and receive Communion, up to about twenty days before or after the indulgenced act.The period for gaining this indulgence began on the First Sunday of Advent 2014 and will conclude on February 2, 2016, the day of the closure of the Year of Consecrated Life. In the Diocese of Lafayette a plenary indulgence may be obtained during those days devoted to consecrated life and during diocesan celebrations organized for the Year of Consecrated Life (by participating in any Votive Mass for Consecrated or Religious Life, Vocations Awareness, Jubilarian Mass, etc) or by visiting any of the following designated places:• Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist, Lafayette• Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Lafayette• Saint Charles Borromeo Church, Grand Coteau• Saint Martin de Tours, St. Martinville• Mother of the Redeemer Monastery, * Plaisance• Carmelite Monastery, * Lafayette• Mater Dolorosa Chapel, *St. MartinvilleIn order to obtain the plenary indulgence, one must publicly recite the Liturgy of the Hours (please note places that are marked with an asterisk all have public recitation of the Divine Office; please contact them for times) or devote a suitable period of time for devout reflection, concluding with the Lord’s Prayer, the Creed, and pious invocation of the Virgin Mary.

PRAYER FOR THE YEAR OF CONSECRATED LIFEO God, throughout the ages you have called women and men to pursue lives of perfect charity through the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen

From the Pastor “My heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.” Romans 10:1Mes chers amis, As you’ve probably heard from the Bishop’s most recent Priestly assignments, Fr. Harrington has received a new assignment as the Parochial Vicar of St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Abbeville, effective July 1. We at Sacred Heart and St. Joseph Parishes will receive as our new Parochial Vicar, Fr. Matthew Barzare, a native of Eunice. Please pray for Fr. Harrington and Fr. Barzare and all Priests and Parishes who will be affected by these changes of assignments. On this feast of Pentecost, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit that Our Lord Jesus promised to send upon His Church. Ascended into Heaven and seated at the right hand of His Father, Jesus fulfilled His promise. The Holy Spirit came with great power upon the Apostles gathered around Our Lady in the Upper Room. From that day on, the Church continues the saving mission of her Lord Jesus, filled with the power of the Hoy Spirit. We ourselves need the gifts of the Holy Spirit to follow Christ in holiness of life. How do we know that that Holy Spirit is active in our lives? St. Paul tells us that we can see these fruits present if He is: The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23) Today, we pray: Come, Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your well beloved spouse! Dans le Sacré Cœur du Christ, Fr. Vidrine
