Parish Mission at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church May 14-16
Sisters from the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ presented a parish mission at
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Denton the evenings of Monday through Wednesday,
May 14-16. With a theme of "Conversion and Prayer", the mission was an inspiring
opportunity to deepen, renew, or experience our walk with the Lord. The Disciples of the
Lord Jesus Christ are a young Franciscan order based in Prayer Town (Channing), Texas.
Their ministries, including giving retreats and missions, have touched and enhanced the
lives of thousands.
Here's some descriptive excerpts from their web
site:
"The Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ is a Franciscan Religious community. Called
to witness to the Gospel, they seek to draw all people into a personal relationship with
Jesus through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. This flows from a deep life of
prayer, praise, and on-going conversion in loving commitment to one another.
We witness to the Gospel and minister to the spiritual needs of Catholics and
non-Catholics adults, youth and children, through various evangelistic outreaches and
ministries. These include, but are not limited to: retreats, prayer ministry, praise and
worship, mission house, teaching, spiritual direction, and so on.
Since 1975 we have been printing, Praise Him!, now a bi-monthly newsletter that goes to
friends and family around the world. Many of the articles in the newsletter are written by
our sisters and others that we think are particularly good; we get their permission to
reprint. We also give news about our ministries."
