Visit of the Relic of St. Mary Magdalene

Friday was a wonderful day at St. Landry Catholic Church in Opelousas, Louisiana. The relic of St. Mary Magdalene was venerated all day within our church. I will follow up with a letter from our pastor Monsignor J. Robert Romero soon and will have photos, videos, audio ... a whole host of multimedia information about the day. Watch for all of it here on the blog site over the next week.

We would like to thank everyone who traveled with the relic to bring it to Opelousas, especially Richard Borgman and Father Romaric. We would like to thank the parishioners who helped prepare the church and helped with making the crowds feel welcome. And, most of all, we would like to thank all of the faithful for spending some time with us and we ask them to look to St. Mary Magdalene's example. To her, Jesus was "Teacher" and "Lord". After seeing the resurrected Christ, she went out to the world saying, "I have seen the Lord" just as we are called to do.
