As we enter into this Holy Week and the love that Our God has for each and every one of us, let us reflect on His Passion and all that He did to save us.

Just a few quick reminders and updates...(1)  Conference Registration is NOT closed - though we are past the deposit deadline, we are still taking new groups.  Simply register online and send in your deposits as soon as possible.  (2) LEAD applications are now being accepted.  The deadline for applications has been extended to April 16th.  There is still space available but it is limited.  Be sure to get your application in now.  (3) Tent Ministry applications are being taken.  Any participants interested in performing during some of the meal times on Saturday afternoon in the Dining Tents, be sure to let us know.  We are still in need of a few more groups to fill in the time slots.  (4)  Mercy Crew Registration is open and ongoing.  We currently have over 30 registrants for this program already!  Be sure to continue to spread the word about this incredible Servants Ministry at Steubenville On The Bayou.  (4)  On-site Housing availability is very limited this year.  If your group is interested in on-site housing, be sure to register for it and to send in your payment to secure your spots.

Happy New Year to all.  We pray that you will be blessed abundantly during this glorious new year that God has given to us.

We are happy to announce the addition of two speakers to our 2010 Conference Team.  Damon Owens & Bob Lesnefsky will be joining us this summer "down on the bayou"!  Be sure to visit our "Conference Information" page to read more about all of our amazing speakers and musicians.

Also, our 2010 brochure & poster are finally here.  You can download them on our "Promo and Fun Stuff" page or call our office, 985/872-1810 to request one be mailed to you.

Many of you may have also noticed that our mailing address has changed.  Please be sure to forward all mailings to: Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux  Conference Office, P.O. Box 505, Schriever, LA 70395.  We are happy to announce that we have moved to our new location at the Diocesan Pastoral Center on Hwy. 311 in Schriever!  Be sure to stop by and visit some time (or check out our bookstore).  The offices are open from 8:30am - 4:30pm.

Mercy Crew updates!  First, REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN.  Anyone interested in participating in Mercy Crew can go to the Mercy Crew page and register now.  Second, per your request...we are adding an extra day to the Mercy Crew Retreat Experience.  Mercy Crew participants will now arrive on Tuesday for retreat time through Wednesday.  Then service begins at the Civic Center for Conference setup on Thursday!  Unfortunately, if you are unable to make the full commitment from Tuesday through Sunday you will need to contact our office to see about volunteering for the conference in another capacity.  The strength and full experience of Mercy Crew relies on its participants being present the entire six days!
