Arrangements for Brother Lee Barker, S.C. – Our Brother Martin and Brothers of the Sacred Heart communities are deeply saddened with the recent passing of Brother Lee Barker. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 crisis, Brother Lee's Mass of Christian Burial will be postponed until the isolation has been lifted. Thank you to Edmond Fahey Funeral Home of Bay St. Louis, MS, for their cooperation in holding the body until such time as the services can be appropriately celebrated.

All the faithful are invited to participate in a special prayer with Pope Francis this Friday, March 27 at 12:00 PM (Central Daylight Time). During the Statio orbis, which will be streamed from the Vatican website at www.vaticannews.va, Pope Francis will grant to all participants the Plenary Indulgence before imparting the Urbi et Orbi Blessing. This will be a historic moment for our church.

In His Heart,

Ronnie Hingle, S.C.
Provincial, Brothers of the Sacred Heart
