Lenten Mission begins tonight at 6:30 PM

Tonight at 6:30 PM at St. Landry Catholic Church, we begin our Lenten Mission with Father Neyrey. For an overview of the entire mission, click here.

The topic of the mission is, "The Paschal Mystery: What the New Testament and the Early Church have to say about the Death and Resurrection of Jesus".

The first night's topic is, "Despising the Shame of the Cross". This references the Book of Hebrews, the beginning of Chapter 12:

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Father Nehrey will look to the Book of Matthew and his story of the Death of Jesus.
