Video about the Cornerstone Rite and our $30 Million fundraising milestone. Thanks to student JC Orillion for this video!

On November 25, we gathered with Bishop Deshotel, priests, seminarians of our diocese, UL students and administration, parishioners, and benefactors to celebrate an important milestone in the construction of the new Our Lady of Wisdom Church & Catholic Student Center: The Sacred Rite of the Laying of the Cornerstone. 

May this building be a place where many come to see God’s glory…full of grace and truth. May this building be a worthy dwelling of God Most High who, knowing that we cannot get there on our own, desires to bring heaven to us.

The steady beep of a man lift reversing, the sound of a hammer on steel, drills and grinders humming: this is the background music for our daily 9 AM holy hour these days. It is a daily reminder as I come before Jesus in the Eucharist of the need to continue to beg the Lord of the Harvest to send laborers into his vineyard, for the harvest is abundant and the laborers are few.
