The Lake Charles Latin Mass Society

I just wanted to let anyone who’s interested know that McNeese is hosting some pretty cool lectures on one famous Catholic of the nineteenth century: Cardinal Newman. All lectures are free and open to the public.

Tonight at 7:30 PM, Fr. John Ford, C.S.C., of the Catholic University of America, will be lecturing on “Newman Then and Now” with a reception following.

Tomorrow, Saturday, at 10:30 AM will be coffee and snacks, followed by a lecture at 11:00 AM with Dr. Bernadette Waterman Ward of the University of Dallas, lecturing on “Religious Liberty in the University: Newman’s Oxford Novel and American Academia Today”.

At 7:00 PM you can see Dr. Frederick Aquino of Abilene Christian University, lecturing on “Exemplars and the Urge to Connect”.

And around 8:00 PM, there will be a roundtable discussion with the speakers being joined by special guests: Dr. Susan Nicassio of U.L.L., and Dr. Kevin L. Cope of L.S.U. with a reception following.

All of this takes place at the Burton Conference Center.

Sounds very interesting and exciting!!

I’m still having trouble adding pictures to this site, so what I did was create a flickr account, which is a photo sharing website.

Hope everyone enjoys!

Mass this Sunday is not at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. It’s at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church in Hackberry, which is about 20 minutes south of Interstate 10. Mass is at 2:00 PM, with confessions heard before Mass.
