Psalms: The School of Prayer

We hear the Psalms read or sung at every Mass between the first and second readings, but do we understand their significance?

At the heart of the Bible are the Psalms, prayers from God that help us learn to pray. The Holy Spirit inspired them. Israel sang them. Christ himself prayed them, as did our Blessed Mother. These sacred hymns become our heartfelt response to God’s loving and wondrous deeds for us. Their words captivate the imagination and draw us into a deeply personal encounter with God.

This DVD series will be narrated by Jeff Cavins, Sarah Christmyer, and Dr. Tim Gray, who will teach us how to establish a deeply personal dialogue with God through the Psalms.

Join us in the Isidore Center for Psalms: The School of Prayer beginning on Monday, September 10th and continuing every Monday, at either 9:15 am or 6:15 pm, for 11 weeks. The cost of the study is $26 to cover materials. For more information or to register for the study, call the parish office.

Fall Fest

We will kick off Fall Fest with our annual Golf Tournament on Saturday, September 8th at 7:30 AM at Springhill Farm Golf Course in Clinton, LA. The cost to enter the golf scramble is $75 per person and $300 per team.

Food Fest will be on Sunday, September 9th at 11:30 AM (following 10:30 AM Mass). Plates are a donation of $8. Bids on silent auction items will begin at 11:30 AM and our Live Auction starts at 1 PM. We will have a 50/50 raffle where our winner will be announced at 2 PM- must be present to win!
