Praying together as husband and wife can be hard. Some might even say it is awkward. Even married couples who are comfortable sharing their joys and sorrows with God together will admit it can be a challenge unless you are both willing to make it a priority. 

LAKE CHARLES – On Feb. 13, The Most Reverend Glen John Provost, Bishop of Lake Charles, made the following appointments:

The Most Reverend Glen John Provost, Bishop of Lake Charles, has named Rev. Matthew Cormier, pastor of St. Henry Catholic Church, as Dean of the Central Deanery of the Diocese.

The Equestrian Order of The Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, Southeastern Lieutenancy, is offering a pilgrimage to the Holy Land for the period of September 22 to October 2, 2020.

According to standard practice, all bishops of the Catholic Church are required to visit the Holy See and submit a report on the work of the Church in their respective dioceses.    Because of the transition between the Pontificates of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis, the ad limina visit for the bishops of the United States was delayed to seven years.    Hence, from the beginning of November 2019 thru February of 2020, all bishops in our nation will be visiting the Holy Father, the tombs of the Apostles, and the offices of the Vatican which oversee the work of the Church throughout the world.
