"At All Stages...Life Matters"
is the theme for this year's ecumenical Bishop's Pro-Life Rose Dinner. Why a rose dinner? Tied to many miracles, the rose is a privileged symbol for Mary, Queen of heaven and earth. Mary said yes to life and the world was changed immeasurably. Join us and our speaker, Bishop J. Douglas Deshotel, on Saturday, August 21, 2021, nine remarkable individuals who have said "yes" to the pro-life movement in the Diocese of Lafayette through their commitment, dedication, and work in protecting the dignity of human life.
The Rose Dinner will help raise awareness of issues that impact a life-affirming culture and will celebrate those who champion life through their volunteer efforts.
Proceeds from the dinner will benefit six area crisis pregnancy centers and the diocesan Office of Pro-Life Apostolate to continue their life-saving ministries throughout the Diocese. These centers include The Desormeaux Foundation's Women's Center of Lafayette, A Pregnancy Center and Clinic (Lafayette), The Unexpected Pregnancy Center (New Iberia), Vermillion Women's Resource Center (Abbeville), The New Life Pregnancy Center (Mamou), and the Opelousas Pregnancy Center.
The 2021 Bishop's Pro-Life Rose Dinner & Awards will be held on Saturday, August 21, 2021 at the River Oaks Catering and Event Center in Lafayette. All COVID-19 safety protocols will be observed. -
