Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Upcoming Ordinations around the diocese


As previously announced by Bishop Thompson, we have three evening ordinations to the priesthood coming up soon, each beginning at 6:30pm:

 
12/6 - - Harry Jenkins, Christ Church, Slidell
12/8 - - Patrick Edwards, St. Margaret's, Baton Rouge
12/13 - - Cal Lane, St. Mary's, Franklin
 
In order to make it easier for folks to attend we have arranged for four buses to transport those who do not want to drive on their own:
 
Depart St. Luke's Baton Rouge at 4pm on 12/6 for Christ Church, Slidell
Depart St. Augustine's Metairie at 4:30pm on 12/8 for St. Margaret's, BR 
 
Depart St. Luke's Baton Rouge at 4pm  on 12/13 for St. Mary's, Franklin
Depart St. Augustine's Metairie at 4pm on 12/13 for St. Mary's, Franklin
 
The cost of these buses is being offset in part by donations from a handful of parish clergy and the bishop, so we are only asking for a $10 donation per rider for those who wish to ride along (at over $3 per gallon of gas in your own car, this is quite a deal!) We will ask for cash or check (payable to the Diocese of Louisiana) at the time the buses load.
 
Each bus can carry 50 persons.
 
Please encourage clergy and laity alike to attend these ordinations. Reservations for the buses must be made by sending an email to[email protected], indicating the names of the folks and the buses they want to take.
 
Also, don't forget the (transitional) deacon ordination of Alina Williams and Joe Wallace on Saturday, 12/17 at the Cathedral, beginning at 10am.
