LAKE CHARLES — On the same day as the historic ordinations of four men to the priesthood for the Diocese of Lake Charles, Michael Beverung will advance one step closer on his priestly journey when he is ordained a transitional deacon by Bishop Glen John Provost on Saturday, June 27, in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

Reverend Monsignor Ronald C. Groth's private funeral Mass for his family and the clergy is available for viewing on YouTube.com/lcdiocese. The service was held at 2:00 p.m. Friday, May 15, from Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church in Jennings. (This Mass is in addition to the one at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Raymond held earlier in the morning on Friday.)

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

“I rejoiced when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’” (Psalm 122:1)

On May 1, 2020, I lifted the suspension on public liturgies in the Diocese of Lake Charles. Pastors are asked to use their discretion while respecting current guidelines regarding the number and manner of attendance to ensure that the faithful have access to the Eucharist. Our liturgical tradition puts many options at our disposal.
