The Diocese of Shreveport is looking for couples who practice Natural Family Planning (NFP) and who are interested in becoming NFP trainers for the diocese. Trainer couples will offer classes a few times per year to help other couples interested in learning NFP discover the beauty and gift of God’s design for marriage and fertility. We are looking for 2 to 3 couples in each of our 3 deaneries to be trainers for the deaneries in which they live. If you would like more information, please contact Mark Loyet at mloyet@dioshpt.org.
 

Daily Prayers for Priests: 

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of the priesthood. 

We particularly thank you for the priests here in the Diocese 

 Of Shreveport. We ask that you draw them ever closer 

to the Sacred Heart of Your Son Jesus. May they experience 

the depth of communion with you that you long for.  Grant 

them stillness Lord, that they might perceive your presence. 

Heighten their spiritual senses that they might see and hear 

you ever more clearly and feel you ever more deeply. 

Remind them of their call. Remind them of all that you have 

promised them and they promised you on the sacred day 

of their ordination. We ask for miracles of renewal in their 

priestly vocation, Lord. Renew them in your love and 

strengthen their resolve to love and serve you. Strengthen 

their priestly fraternity, Lord, and strengthen the bond between 

the priests and the Laity, that together Lord, we all might be 

ONE as you are One. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
