The 2nd Annual St. Joseph’s Lenten Pilgrimage in Lacombe, La, was a great success, and proves that the Latin Mass in the region of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, north of Lake Pontchartrain, is thriving.
More than 50 people (14 of them under the age of 12) kicked off the Lenten season with a nearly 10 mile trek from the Mandeville Trace to Sacred Heart in Lacombe. There was a men’s brigade and a women’s brigade.
Our chaplain, Fr. Jambon, walked between the brigades, hearing confession and giving spiritual counsel. At the conclusion of the pilgrimage, Fr. Jambon offered Benediction, confessions, and a presentation and blessing of a relic of Our Lady’s veil. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful way to start this penitential season.
See below a picture of the relic of our lady's veil, the upper part of the relic.
The Remnant values the comments and input of our visitors. It’s no secret, however, that trolls exist, and trolls can do a lot of damage to a brand. Therefore, our comments are heavily monitored 24/7 by Remnant moderators around the country. They have been instructed to remove demeaning, hostile, needlessly combative, racist, Christophobic comments, and streams not related to the storyline. Multiple comments from one person under a story are also discouraged. Capitalized sentences or comments will be removed (Internet shouting).
The Remnant comments sections are not designed for frequent personal blogging, on-going debates or theological or other disputes between commenters. Please understand that we pay our writers to defend The Remnant’s editorial positions. We thus acknowledge no moral obligation whatsoever to allow anyone and everyone to try to undermine our editorial policy and create a general nuisance on our website. Therefore, Remnant moderators reserve the right to edit or remove comments, and comments do not necessarily represent the views of The Remnant.
