June 4, 2023 - Living Saints
Have you met a living Saint?
When was the last time you thought about living Saints? I will never forget the conversation we had with Bishop Olivier Leborgne in Montreuil-sur-mer, northern France last April.
You may recall I wrote to you about our latest pilgrimage "In the footsteps of Father Martin".
Six of us had gone to the most northern part of France to help prepare the centennial celebration of the death of Father Narcisse Martin. We left beautiful Waldorf on Easter Monday.
Our first overnight stay...
Join us and learn more about Deacon Juan Pablo and Isaac's vocation story. We will also pray for vocations during the Holy Hour! Deacon Juan Pablo will be ordained a priest on June 17th and Isaac will be ordained a Deacon on June 10th. Bring your entire family, especially your children!
