Father Blazek spoke and celebrated Mass at the “Lord Teach Me to Pray” weekend of prayer March 1-4 held at the airport Hilton in New Orleans.

The first evening opened with a visit from Archbishop Emeritus Alford Hughes, currently teaching at the Notre Dame seminary in New Orleans.

There were many opportunities for Eucharistic adoration, confession, and personal prayer.

Father Blazek also had the opportunity to visit Jesuits at Loyola University, New Orleans and friends of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer) in the region.
