Later this month, there will be a Eucharistic congress meeting in Indianapolis to celebrate the Eucharistic renewal going on in our country. Bishop Kopacz and others from our Diocese will be journeying to that event. Our prayers and our spirit go with them. This week, I am humbled to be representing our Diocese on the campus of the University of Notre Dames to present my prison ministry project as a part of the national Eucharistic renewal. All of us should see ourselves as Eucharistic missionaries, bringing the spirit of the Eucharist to different parts of our world, especially those to the most needy and most forgotten. Bringing the spirit of the Eucharist to the state prison in Pearl and to the federal prison in Yazoo City has truly been a transformative experience for the inmates and for me as a priest. Focusing on the spirit of the Eucharist has brought so much life and energy to that ministry. I am ask for you prayers as I go up to South Bend, Indiana this week in conclusion of this two year project. Know that I will bring the spirit of our parishes of Immaculate Conception and Holy Savior with me. Father Lincoln.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
