Sibley http://ourladyofwisdom.org/?p=2233 Most of you are hopefully aware of the US Government’s recent decision to mandate employers and insurance companies to provide birth control and sterilization (including abortifacients) free of charge. This is an unprecedented violation of the freedom of conscience and religious liberty, particularly for Catholic institutions.

Fortunately, our bishops are speaking up, in particular Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan. I’m providing resources here to help you educate yourself on this important issue so that you can take appropriate action.

Click here to take action now!

Don’t forget – prayer and sacrifice is the most important!

Sibley http://ourladyofwisdom.org/?p=2205 Here are the details of the challenge I issued at 6pm Mass today:

If 50 or more currently enrolled UL students will sign up for e-giving at Our Lady of Wisdom, and commit to giving at least $20 a month (that is less than $1 a day), I will cook a delicious Italian dinner for those students in Jeanmard Hall at the end of the semester.

To sign up for e-giving through Faith Direct, just go here and fill out the form. It will guide you through the appropriate steps to get registered.

If you are a UL student, and you are already giving $20 a month or more through Faith Direct, then you’ll be invited to the dinner too.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and your commitment to Our Lady of Wisdom and the Ragin’ Cajun Catholics!

Sibley http://ourladyofwisdom.org/?p=2201 I decided to preach another homily based on this Sunday’s readings in response to the video that went viral last week entitled “Why I Hate Religion but Love Jesus.” It’s not so much in response to the specific contentions made in the video, but the underlying assumptions that lead to the disdain for organized religion so prevalent in our culture.

This is the best overall response I’ve seen to the video so far.

My column for this week’s edition of The Vermilion will also deal with the video.
