This year's conference promises to be the perfect compliment to your Lenten journey. We are so blessed to have with us an inspiring array of speakers: Fr. Jason Vidrine of St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church in Gueydan, Fr. Neil McNeill of St. Bernard Catholic Church in Breaux Bridge, and as always, Fr. Conley Bertrand, Founder and Director of Come, Lord Jesus! Together they have compiled a divinely inspired program for assisting us in living out our "Transformation into Christ, the Image of God" through prayer, virtue, and the Sacraments!

WELCOME  

COME, LORD JESUS! is a program committed to forming small Catholic faith communities. The program follows a well-defined, balanced structure for spiritual formation based on the recommendations of the Second Vatican Council. The program centers around four basic elements: PRAYER, SCRIPTURE, EUCHARIST, and FELLOWSHIP/CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY – elements inspired by the Holy Spirit and practiced in the early Church (Acts 2:42). The primary mission of the program is to help members to be transformed into the very image of Christ, who is Love.

COME, LORD JESUS' simple format assures successful implementation by the laity. The Scripture study portion of the meeting uses the selections of Scripture to be read at the upcoming Sunday Mass, with the results of not only greatly enhancing appreciation of the word of God, but also enriching the entire Sunday Eucharistic celebration.

COME, LORD JESUS! was founded by Rev. Fr. Conley Bertrand, a Roman Catholic priest of the Diocese of Lafayette LA. It has experienced steady growth since its inception in 1969 and has received enthusiastic recommendations and endorsements not only from numerous priests and bishops, but also a special blessing on the program from Pope Benedict XVI.
