During this time of Eucharistic Revival, the faithful are encouraged to renew our worship of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, and to encounter His healing grace. We have the perfect opportunity to do so during the Traveling Eucharistic Rosary Congress being held in the Diocese of Shreveport from October 5-11.

A Traveling Eucharistic Rosary Congress is seven days of around-the-clock Eucharistic Adoration and Hourly Rosary, with each day hosted at a different parish, in response to Our Lady of Fatima’s call to conversion, consecration and prayer. It is offered in a spirit of reparation to restore the sanctity of life, to pray for vocations, to establish peace in our cities, nation, and world, and to console the hearts of Jesus and Mary.

During this 7-day period of the Traveling Eucharistic Rosary Congress, the host parishes will offer Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with the Rosary prayed aloud at the beginning of each hour, followed by silent prayer for the remainder of the hour. An Opening Mass for the Eucharistic Rosary Congress will be held on Saturday, October 5 at the Cathedral of St. John Berchmans. 

St. John the Baptist Parish will host the Eucharistic Rosary Congress on Wednesday, October 9 with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament beginning at 8:30 a.m. and concluding with the benediction at 6:00 p.m.  

Please consider participating in this special event as we pray in reparation for our families, our diocese, our country, and our world. We especially invite parents to join us after dropping their children off at Faith Formation.
