Last weekend, Bishop Jacques spent the day at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist for the St. Finbar Family Picnic, hosted by the Knights of Columbus. Along with games and food, the day included a dunk tank, where the bishop threw a curveball that sent a willing Knight into the water.

On Wednesday, Bishop Jacques celebrated Mass at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School in Myrtle Beach and encouraged students to stay faithful to the Church and active in their parishes.

As our fall Confirmation season begins, Bishop Fabre has already celebrated with St. Anthony Church on Sept. 26 and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati on Sept. 30. He reminded the confirmands to follow God first before others, and that following Jesus will not be or make us comfortable. He said, “St. Jerome did theology — on his knees, in prayer.”
