Tomorrow night.

An ancient burial cloth… bearing the image of a crucified man.

An image that cannot be reproduced.
An image that cannot be fully explained.
An image that does not behave like a normal photograph—yet reveals itself like one.

It defies what we would expect. It challenges what we think we know. It invites us to look closer.

The wounds are there. The scourging. The pierced side. The crown of thorns.

Join us for this powerful presentation on the Shroud of Turin.

📍 Fiske Theatre, Oak Grove
🕖 7:00 PM tomorrow night

Enter Holy Week with the Shreveport Martyrs. Father Kelby Tingle has prepared special meditations for each day beginning tomorrow, Palm Sunday. Be sure to follow us this week as we share the parallel of our five priests entering a Gethsemane of their own in 1873 - in the fever wards of Shreveport - where they laid down their lives in service of others.

During Holy Week, the Church walks closely with Christ, from His procession into the city of Jerusalem to Calvary. The following reflections invite the reader to make that same journey through the moving witness of the five Shreveport Martyrs, who, in the face of certain death, freely chose to enter Christ’s Passion and remain with the suffering entrusted to them by God.

Throughout His life and ministry, Christ revealed perfect love and the promise of eternal life. On the night before He willingly entered His Passion, that love became unmistakably visible. He knelt to wash the feet of His disciples. He gave His Body and Blood. He testified that those entrusted to Him had been guarded and protected.

In a profoundly Christ-like way, these Servants of God lived that same mission. They understood that the people entrusted to their care were not numbers, but souls. Even at tremendous cost, they committed themselves to offering others the love and eternal life first offered to them by Christ.

Like Christ in Gethsemane, these Servants of God confronted fear, isolation, and the cost of obedience, but did not turn away from the cup set before them. Their path was a true way of the Cross: quiet and hidden, marked not by spectacle, but by fidelity to the end. In this way they reveal how the Passion of Christ is not only remembered in Holy Week, but how it can be offered anew in every age through sacrificial love.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John 15:13
