Marriage and Contraception

Homilies are now available to download and listen to!

As part of our answering the challenge of the Holy Father to go out and evangelize utilizing new technologies, we're now offering the homily each week for download. Clicking the link to the homily should download it and automatically start it playing in whatever music player your computer is set up with.

On the technical side, the file sizes are about 5 megs which means it may a minute or two to download on slower Internet connections. It is also an MP3 formatted file which means that these are essentially podcasts. Don't worry if all the technical words don't mean much to you. It means we're using the latest in technology in order to make sure our church parish can reach the most people.

The current week's homily is available on a link on the front page of the website next to the link for the current week's bulletin. On the page with the prior bulletins, the corresponding homily will be sitting side by side with its bulletin. We started on the anniversary of the start of the Catholic Church, Pentecost Sunday --- nearly three years ago. This week, the Marriage and Contraception talk, is our one hundred and seventy fifth! podcast to be posted. The talk is given by Father James Brady.

So, take a listen and let us know what you think. Click here to download the Marriage and Contraception talk from St. Landry Catholic Church, Opelousas, Louisiana.

Marriage and Contraception talk at church, 6:30 PM tonight

Pursuant to the recent events regarding health insurance coverage and things the government is requiring private employers to provide for their employees, we are going to have a presentation on contraception and what the Church teaches about it. It is one of the most misunderstood teachings in our Church, and the recent events have given us an opportunity to learn what the Church teaches and hopefully, to learn more about marriage and how to strengthen marriages. I hope you are able to make it. Both myself and Deacon Diesi will make the presentation, which will begin at 6:30 pm on Monday, March 5, 2012 in the Big Church. Please remember, the presentation is not just for those of child-bearing age, but for all who are married and would like to strengthen their marriages. God Bless.

Fr. James Brady
