V.J.E.
Praised be Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament!
On August 22, 2024, in the presence of Most Rev. Michael G. Duca, Bishop of the Diocese of Baton Rouge, three young women entered the Novitiate within our religious family.
Please pray for Sr. Kristin Foresman, Sr. Elizabeth Jasek, and Sr. Olivia Staverman as they continue to discern the Lord’s call for their life within our religious family. We thank God for these three young women and pray that Jesus may continue to pour His abundant love on them! Let us pray that Papa continue to send many young women ready to be transformed in the fire of Eucharistic love.

Prayer for Mercedarian Vocations: O Mary, Mother of Christ the Eternal High Priest, and Mother of the Church, we come to you and humbly ask you to awaken new religious vocations for the service of the people of God, especially to the Mercedarian family. Strengthen our Catholic homes in faith which bears fruit; so that disciples and witnesses of your Son may be harvested from them. Touch the hearts of our young people, invite and bring them to the Heart of Jesus. May they grow in his warmth and in the mystery of total self-giving in service of the Gospel. Mother of Mercy, our Mother, bless us with holy vocations to the religious life and priesthood. Amen.
