On Sunday, October 10, 2010, the Cypress Springs Mercedarian Prayer Center
      
      
        will
      
      
        
          Open Its’ Door
        
      
      
        for an official Open House Celebration.  When Sister Dulce
      
      
        arrived in Baton Rouge nine years ago, no one knew the plan that the Lord had
      
      
        for Baton Rouge.  Today, we understand that plan and are thankful for the many
      
      
        people who have helped bring His plan to completion.
      
      
        We will also be celebrating the Founding Centennial 1910-2010 of the
      
      
        Mercedarian Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and the 50
      
      
        th
      
      
        Anniversary of Sister
      
      
        Dulce Maria Flores as a Mercedarian Sister.
      
      
        We would like to invite you to attend this wonderful celebration and join us in
      
      
        thanksgiving as we give glory to God for all of the blessings He has bestowed
      
      
        upon this Prayer Center.
      
      
        Tours will be available of the Mercedarian Private Chapel, the Convent & the Ministry Center.

        Brick Campaign Continues
      
      
        The first order of personally, inscribed bricks will be delivered shortly and we look forward to having these special
      
      
        memorials and inspirational messages as part of the Cypress Springs Mercedarian Prayer Center.   Sister Dulce has al-
      
      
        ways said that this Center belongs to God’s people and this Brick Campaign is important because it allows the people
      
      
        to leave a permanent message and become a  part of the “foundation” of this Ministry.   We, as a people of God, have
      
      
        the opportunity to publicly present our petitions of thanksgiving as we remember those who have left this world to
      
      
        enjoy the rewards of our Father and/or to graciously thank Our Lord for the blessing we enjoy today.
      
      
        You may join the hundreds who have already purchased a personally, inscribed brick.  These bricks will be placed
      
      
        prominently near the Mercedarian Private Chapel so that all who visit may include your petition in their prayers.
