SUMMARY:Restorative Justice Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a faith-centered evening of listening\, learning\, prayer\, and reflection on immigration enforcement and its impact on people in our community. \nOur nation’s approach to immigration has long been a focus of media coverage and political debate. Yet we hear far less about the lives of people in our own community affected by immigration enforcement. \nHow might we listen to their stories—not only as citizens\, but as a Trinity community striving to “love our neighbors\, do justice\, and walk humbly with God”? \nThe Trinity Restorative Justice Committee invites you to explore that question through brief presentations from people working in immigration law and migrant child protection services\, along with Scripture readings\, prayer\, and meditative reflection. \nParticipants will be invited to ask questions and join the conversation. A reception following the program will offer additional time for fellowship and discussion. \nPlease join us as we consider how our faith calls us to respond with compassion\, justice\, and humility. \nIn Bishops Hall\, Trinity\, New Orleans.

James is an Episcopal monk and the founding Prior of The Benedictine Way\, known for weaving together the contemplative life and Christian social justice. He will guide us through a gentle monastic rhythm of Benedictine prayer\, guided meditation\, and holy silence. This retreat is a chance to step away from busy schedules\, turn off devices\, and rest deeply in God. Participants are welcome to enjoy Trinity’s grounds and labyrinth throughout the day.

Before serving as the Monk in Residence for the Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska\, he served at Holy Cross Monastery in West Park\, NY and at Mariya uMama weThemba Monastery in Grahamstown\, South Africa. Brother James is passionate about exploring the intersection of the quest for Christian social justice and the contemplative life. The Benedictine Way was founded so that an inter-generational community of followers of Jesus might find a way to reinvigorate our little corner of the church with that quest. Before his years in monastic life\, Brother James had a career in theater and television. The Contemplative Underground was founded because in Br. James’ many travels he discovered a kind of “underground” of people who either were contemplative or wanted to be contemplative throughout the United States\, South Africa\, Germany\, Great Britain\, and Canada\, In all these places\, there were always many people who longed for a more peaceful life and to work for a more peaceful world. Having led so many workshops on Centering Prayer and other forms of contemplative prayer\, it became obvious that people wanted to do this within the context of a community – but that community was difficult to find. Contemplative Underground brings the desire for a deeper contemplative life and community together online and is led within the framework of Benedictine spirituality.

James is an Episcopal monk and the founding Prior of The Benedictine Way\, known for weaving together the contemplative life and Christian social justice. He will guide us through a gentle monastic rhythm of Benedictine prayer\, guided meditation\, and holy silence. This retreat is a chance to step away from busy schedules\, turn off devices\, and rest deeply in God. Participants are welcome to enjoy Trinity’s grounds and labyrinth throughout the day.

Before serving as the Monk in Residence for the Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska\, he served at \nHoly Cross Monastery in West Park\, NY and at Mariya uMama weThemba Monastery in Grahamstown\, South Africa. Brother James is passionate about exploring the intersection of the quest for Christian social justice and the contemplative life. The Benedictine Way was founded so that an inter-generational community of followers of Jesus might find a way to reinvigorate our little corner of the church with that quest. Before his years in monastic life\, Brother James had a career in theater and television. \nThe Contemplative Underground was founded because in Br. James’ many travels he discovered a kind of “underground” of people who either were contemplative or wanted to be contemplative throughout the United States\, South Africa\, Germany\, Great Britain\, and Canada\, In all these places\, there were always many people who longed for a more peaceful life and to work for a more peaceful world. Having led so many workshops on Centering Prayer and other forms of contemplative prayer\, it became obvious that people wanted to do this within the context of a community – but that community was difficult to find. Contemplative Underground brings the desire for a deeper contemplative life and community together online and is led within the framework of Benedictine spirituality.

SUMMARY:Dedication and Consecration of New Church
DESCRIPTION:RSVP on Facebook HERE.\n\nBaton Rouge\, LA – As St. Luke’s Episcopal Church approaches the third anniversary of the February 17\, 2024\, fire that destroyed its church and Pope Hall\, the congregation is preparing for a significant milestone in its journey of rebuilding. The dedication and consecration of its new church is scheduled for Sunday\, February 21\, 2027\, at 3:00 p.m.\, with the Rt. Rev. Shannon Rogers Duckworth\, Bishop of Louisiana\, presiding.\n\nThe date marks an important moment for the St. Luke’s community\, coming just days after the third anniversary of the fire. Three years of loss\, perseverance\, rebuilding and hope will culminate in a celebration that represents both a new beginning and a homecoming for the congregation.\n\nThe February 21 date was selected based on several considerations\, including the bishop’s availability and the construction timeline recommended by the professionals overseeing the project. The additional time will allow the remaining work and preparations to be completed with care\, ensuring the new church is ready to welcome the congregation for this historic occasion.\n\n“February 21 is more than just a date on the calendar\,” said the Rev. Bryan Owen\, sixth rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. “Gathering to dedicate and consecrate our new church so close to the anniversary of the fire will be a powerful moment of healing and homecoming for our parish. After all we have experienced\, we look forward to celebrating this new chapter together.”\n\nAlthough worship services in the new church cannot begin until the bishop presides over the dedication and consecration\, St. Luke’s anticipates being able to use the new Pope Hall beforehand for fellowship\, parish events\, meetings and other gatherings.\nFollowing the dedication and consecration\, the congregation will also gather at a later date to inter the cremains of loved ones in the new columbarium. This will include those whose cremains were displaced by the fire\, as well as those who have died since.\nAs preparations continue\, St. Luke’s will share additional information about the opening of Pope Hall\, the dedication service and the columbarium interment as details become available.\n\nThe February 21 celebration will mark a defining chapter in St. Luke’s history\, honoring the congregation’s past while looking ahead with faith and renewed hope for the future.\n\nAbout St. Luke’s Episcopal Church\nFor over 60 years\, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Baton Rouge\, Louisiana\, has faithfully lived out Christ’s call to love and serve. Founded in 1956 by a small group of worshippers\, St. Luke’s has grown into a vibrant Episcopal community of more than 1\,500 baptized members. Rooted in the Anglican tradition and sustained by generations of families\, the church has continuously expanded its ministries and facilities—including its renowned St. Luke’s Day School\, founded in 1957\, which serves students from Pre-K through 8th grade. From humble beginnings in private homes and temporary buildings\, St. Luke’s now stands on the historic Goodwood Boulevard site\, supported by dedicated leadership and the abiding guidance of the Holy Spirit. stlukesbr.org

SUMMARY:Pilgrimage to the Holy Land
DESCRIPTION:A pilgrimage to the Holy Land is one of the most powerful experiences in Christian life. Technology allows us to explore these places through video and books\, which is a gift. But\, when possible\, an in-person pilgrimage is different. It changes the pilgrim\, and it deepens the faith of those who hear the stories brought home. \nIn Lent 2027\, we will have the chance to make such a pilgrimage together. Our Diocese has organized Holy Land pilgrimages since 2012. They were paused in 2020\, and now\, by God’s grace\, they will resume. We will visit the Church of the Nativity\, marking the place of Jesus’ birth; the Church of the Holy Sepulcher\, marking his death and resurrection; and the many sacred sites in between. \n\nWe are moving toward the final composition of our pilgrim group\, but it’s not too late to learn more or consider joining us.\nIf you have ever dreamed of walking in the places where Jesus lived and ministered\, we invite you to consider this once-in-a-lifetime\, life-changing spiritual pilgrimage.\n\nFor more information\, please contact Lisa Sibal at Christ Church Cathedral at lsibal@cccnola.org.
