God Our Father, we thank you for our parish community at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in the Diocese of Shreveport. Thank you for the many blessings that you have given us, and especially for calling us to serve as disciples of your son, Jesus Christ. We ask that you send your Holy Spirit to guide us, transform our hearts, and lead us ever closer to you. Help us always seek to be a parish centered on Christ and ablaze with love.
We praise you for the heroic virtues exemplified by the Five Priests who served in our parish during the 1873 Yellow Fever Epidemic. If it be your will, glorify our beloved Servants of God Fr. Jean Pierre, Fr. Isidore Quémerais, Fr. Jean-Marie Biler, Fr. Louis Gergaud, and Fr. François LeVézouët, by conferring the favors we ask through them, and grant their cause for canonization. May our parish be a welcoming destination for pilgrims who seek you through their intercession.
We ask these things through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
