Passionate Walk with Christ
Listen as you join in a personal
walk to Calvary
But Jesus cried out again in a loud voice,
and gave up His spirit. And behold, the
veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The
earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened, and the bodies
of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming
forth from their tombs after His resurrection, they entered the
holy city and appeared to many. The centurion and the men
with Him who were keeping watch over Jesus feared greatly
when they saw the earthquake and all that was happening, and
they said, “Truly, this was the Son of God!”
Matthew 27:50-54
Have you lived your life as someone committed to believing
Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God? Have you ever stopped to
reflect on your journey of life and how it relates to the Stations of
the Cross? Have you ever felt abandoned as Jesus did before Pilate?
Have you ever stopped to help someone in need as Simon of
Cyrene helped Jesus carry His cross? Have you ever been knocked
down with the thought of not being able to get up? Have you
ever asked, Why me, Lord? Why me? Join us Friday February
22
as these comparative testimonies are shared by individuals who
have reflected on their life crosses and no longer ask “Why Me”?
Instead, they say “Why not me”.
This emotional, yet spirit-filled evening will have you giving
thanks to God for your faith journey as you begin to realize how
you, too, have made this walk to Calvary.
Tickets are available for $10 each. To purchase, please call the
Center at 225/752-8480.

St. Joseph’s Altar
Come to the feast of plenty!
Come to the feast of heaven and
earth! Come to the table of plenty! God will provide for all that
we need, here at the table of plenty. Your fields will flower in
fullness; your homes will flourish in peace. For I, the giver of
home and harvest, will send my rain on your soil. (words from
Table of Plenty)
If you have never attended a St. Joseph’s Altar, you are missing
one of the oldest and most elaborate and symbolic feast days
celebrated in our Church. The St. Joseph’s Altar not only continues
the tradition of thanking St. Joseph for his intercession when the
Sicilians asked his help in sending rain to a drought-laden Sicily
but it also fulfills the promise to feed the hungry in the community
because of this answered prayer.
Many varieties of meatless dishes are served to the hundreds
who visit our Altar. Everyone is invited to place their petition at
the foot of the Altar to be included in the prayers of all who attend.
In addition to the ornate and beautiful statues, paintings and other
religious articles being placed on the table in thanksgiving, you will
see foods symbolic to the life of St. Joseph such as breads shaped
like carpentry tools and breadcrumbs symbolizing sawdust. You
will also see many symbolic items relating to the life of Jesus.
Everyone is welcome and we invite you to join us as we
continue to celebrate this feast day of St. Joseph!
