Virnet St. Omer-Fontenelle A National Ecumenical Service is scheduled for the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception from 4 p.m. in commemoration of Saint Lucia’s 25th anniversary of Independence. President of the Saint Lucia Christian Council Father Michel Francis says the service will unify persons of all faith in a single purpose of thanksgiving to God for Saint Lucia. He says “an ecumenical service by its very nature calls people of all Christian
faiths…really to come together to pray, first of all in thanksgiving to God for
our land, for a nation that is going to be 25 years since it gained
independence. Where we can have some form of self- actualization,
self-realization. It brings people together to pray so that we can chart a way
forward that will be better for our people.” For more information contact Fr. Michel Francis at (758) 452-2271, (758) 451-8345. |
