CHURCH DEDICATION That Our Father s House will be a haven of peace, a place of prayer, a hall of benediction to which many will come to be with God, to speak with Him and to worship Him; that they leave it sanctified, strengthened, and consoled, we pray to the Lord. (From the Prayer of the Faithful, recited at the Mass of Dedication) One year following Monsignor Andrew Frey s Silver Jubilee celebration, he received the good news from Bishop Tracy that official approval had been granted to proceed with plans for the construction of Our Lady of Mercy s third and permanent church. A Parish Planning Committee was set in place and work on the long-awaited project began. The estimated $1.5 million project included a new church, administrative offices, meditation garden, rectory, convent parking facilities, and service buildings, along with the conversion of the old church to its original purpose as an auditorium-gymnasium. Mercy s new house of worship was dedicated by the Most Reverend Joseph V. Sullivan, D.D., S.T.D. on the Feast of Corpus Christi, June 1, 1975. In his dedicatory homily, Bishop Sullivan exclaimed, Many and varied ceremonies and blessings will take place in this church, such as this dedication ceremony which stresses the importance of the church building as a house of prayer. This new house of prayer was built with contrasting elements to enhance the charm and beauty of the new church. With touches of basilica and gothic styles of architecture, the modern is blended with the antique; the elegant with the ordinary; the functional with the decorative. Because of the great importance placed on music at Mercy and to encourage maximum participation by its people, the choir was placed on the sanctuary level. The organ, the first to be installed in Louisiana by Schantz Organ Company, has been enthusiastically acclaimed by lay and professional music lovers. Since its dedication in 1975 to today, Our Lady of Mercy Parish has witnessed thousands of marriages, baptisms, and provided a place of comfort for families of deceased. In the words of Bishop Sullivan on that special dedication day, I would be remiss if I did not ask in this church, dedicated to the Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Mercy, be prayed to every single day. If you remember Our Lady, you will never be lost eternally. BATON ROUGE, LA 3

For the past 20 years, the Steubenville South Conferences (June 26-28 Alexandria, LA) has served over 70,000 youth of our region, helping them to find the true love of God in Jesus Christ. Camp Hidden Lake is a week-long Catholic summer camp located in scenic Dahlonega, Georgia (July 26-August 2). It is a place where parish youth groups from all over the country come together to dive deeper into their Catholic faith and strengthen their relationship with Christ, while having unforgettable experiences. With prayerful consideration, we encourage you to sponsor a high schooler for either the Steubenville South Conference or Camp Hidden Lake. While any donation is greatly appreciated, we ask that you would consider a donation of $250 for the Steubenville South Conference and $500 for Camp Hidden Lake. We also ask that you would keep us in prayer, entrusting us to the Immaculate Heart and Merciful Heart of Our Lady. Ms. Amelia Gallagher amelia.gallagher@olomchurch.com (225) 926-1883 WELCOME SEMINARIAN JOE BASS Thus says the Lord, Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine. - Isaiah 43.1 Seminarian Joe Bass is no stranger to Baton Rouge; a graduate of Broadmoor High School and LSU, Joe will be with us 9 weeks during his summer break right here at Our Lady of Mercy. While attending LSU, Joe became involved with Christ the King Student Center, where he began to discover the desire to do something radical with his life, giving his entire heart away to something, but was unclear of his mission. After working in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Joe powerfully encountered God s love and goodness, learning to love Him more deeply, especially in the Scriptures. After graduating from LSU, he was hired by Catholic High School of Pointe Coupee to serve in the roles of Campus Minister, teacher, and coach. Two years into his teaching career, Joe was struck deeply by the fifth chapter of Luke s Gospel, in which Jesus tells St. Peter to put out into deeper water. Through much prayer, he realized that putting out into deeper water meant finally answering the call to serve and entering into seminary formation. Life in the seminary has proven fulfilling so far; laughter fills the seminary walls, and through community life, he has experienced growth as a man seeking the Lord s will through challenges and graces. Joe is eager to serve Jesus with our faithful parishioners this summer and we welcome him with open hearts! BATON ROUGE, LA 5

SAINT OF THE WEEK St. Boniface (675-754) FEAST DAY: June 5 Boniface, known as the apostle of the Germans, was an English Benedictine monk who gave up being elected abbot to devote his life to the conversion of the Germanic tribes. Two characteristics stand out: his Christian orthodoxy and his fidelity to the pope of Rome. During a missionary journey, he learned that people s practice of Christianity was either lapsed into paganism or was mixed with error. The clergy were mainly responsible for these latter conditions since they were in many instances uneducated, lax and questionably obedient to their bishops. The Holy Father instructed Boniface to reform the German Church. He was eventually made a regional bishop and authorized to organize the whole German Church. He was eminently successful. In the Frankish kingdom, he met great problems because of lay interference in bishops elections, the worldliness of the clergy and lack of papal control. During a final mission to the Frisians, he and 53 companions were massacred while he was preparing converts for Confirmation. In order to restore the Germanic Church to its fidelity to Rome and to convert the pagans, he had been guided by two principles. The first was to restore the obedience of the clergy to their bishops in union with the pope of Rome. The second was the establishment of many houses of prayer which took the form of Benedictine monasteries. A great number of Anglo- Saxon monks and nuns followed him to the continent. He introduced Benedictine nuns to the active apostolate of education. Source: www.americancatholic.org 8 OUR LADY OF MERCY PARISH
