Be A Part of Honest Dialogue About Race

Our Lady of Peace is offering an opportunity for people of our area of diverse cultures to meet and speak honestly and openly about race. Our sessions will be conversation--not debates where the goal of each side is to prove the other wrong. The Dialogue series will be a structured two-hour weekly series limited to 15 participants per group. The ses-sions are led by trained facilitators from Dialogue on Race. Participants prepare for the discussions by reading short articles before each session. All sessions begin and end on time. Participants must agree to attend at least five of the six meetings. The sessions here will be held on six succes-sive Wednesdays: August 7, 14, 21, 28, September 4 and 11. There is no cost for participating, only a commitment to come and be open and honest in conversation. Participation will be on a first-come basis. We will cap participation in this series at the first 30 who register. Call the church office if you would like to participate.

Meet Our New Seminarian My name is Caleb Gilcrease and I live in Morganza, Louisiana. I am a member of St. Mary of False River church parish in New Roads. I am a graduate of Catholic High of Pointe Coupee in New Roads and attended LSU for one semester. I began discerning the priesthood while a senior in high school and gave serious thought to apply-ing to seminary but de-cided to attend LSU while continuing to discern God’s call. After much prayer and discussion, I decided that I would not continue school at LSU after my first semester and applied to St. Joseph Semi-nary. I have just done my seminary interview. My parents are Rick and Sonya Gilcrease of Mor-ganza. They are excited about my decision to attend seminary and have been very supportive. My dad is a railroad engineer and my mom will be teaching high school religion this coming school year at Catholic High in New Roads. I am very grateful for the opportunity to visit with the people of Our Lady of Peace Parish in the coming weeks and look forward to meeting you.
