The passage recalls how the Lord delivered his people from bondage in Egypt and brought them to a new land. Now, the people, recalling all God has done for them, offer their first fruits in gratitude and rejoice at the good things the Lord has done. Everyday the grace of God is at work in us, freeing us from those things that enslave our spirits. How are you giving thanks for what the Lord has done for you? Do you share your first fruits or just the leftovers? Reflect on all you have been given. Consider how to share these gifts. Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. - Psalm 91:14 Reprinted with permission from S.T. Productions.

Thank you. The Disch-DeClouet Social Service Center is a non-profit organization, run by 35 dedicated volunteers. The Center has served the poor and needy of Iberia Parish providing for critical and basic human needs (food, clothing, utility and rent assistance, and other help) for over 40 years. Last year alone, over 14,000 persons - our neighbors - were served. We are conducting our Annual Campaign which will run through the Lenten Season, and we need your help. We ask that you prayerfully consider investing in those less fortunate by sharing your gifts. Without additional financial support we cannot maintain the level of service that we have been giving for many years. May God bless you for your generosity.

Ed Degeyter Seminary Burse: The Office of Vocations is still collecting for the Burse in Father Ed s honor. A seminary trust fund is to pay for the diocese s annual cost of seminary formation. Currently, the interest from the trust pays 20% of this expense, while the remainder is supplemented by funds raised during the BSA Campaign. The goal of the burse is $15,000 which represented the total cost of a single seminarian when it was first established, although today the cost is $200,000.
