Renee Borne is our Religious Education Leader.
She is a perfect fit with her skills and gifts in this area as a school teacher for 12 years, and previously Religious Ed coordinator at Holy Savior Catholic Church in Clinton. She is excited to return to a Parish program of instructing and leading children in the Catholic Faith.
Renee was born and raised in South Louisiana. She graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a degree in Elementary Education, and is a faithful LSU fan. She taught elementary school for twelve years and has been a member of St.Paul since 2006. Renee has been married to Eddie for seventeen years, and they are blessed with three daughters. She began working as the parish receptionist and secretary in July 2015, and has also been a volunteer and coordinator of the Children’s Liturgy Ministry. Renee enjoys everyone that she works with and loves working at St. Paul. She is happy to help you in any way that she can.
Fun fact about Renee: She grew up near the bayous of South Louisiana and spent most of her childhood on the water. She and Eddie now have a cattle farm near Carthage, MS. “Never, ever would I have imagined myself doing what is required to operate a cattle farm, but we sure do have some stories to tell!!” said Renee.
Favorite scripture: Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. This bible verse was on a key chain given to me for Confirmation. I carried it with me for years after, until the clasp broke and I still have it in a drawer at home. This scripture brings a smile to my face every time that I read it. I may not always understand life, but this scripture brings promise that through God’ love, His plan will be revealed to me.

Heidie, a Catholic convert, did not kneel or see others kneel in the Protestant community she came from. The first time she saw a kneeler, she thought it was a footrest. But seeing another woman flip it down to kneel and pray opened Heidie’s eyes to a practice she thought extinct and found mysterious. For those of us who are lifelong Catholics, Heidie’s reflection on kneeling can help us see its sacredness anew. ... See MoreSee Less

There is so much that we can learn from the saints, not only through their words, but also through the way they lived their lives. The saints help us recognize saintly virtues that we might already possess at least in part, and knowing their lives can help us transform ours.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus says: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
I will be honest—while these words can sound comforting, there were times when I thought them also a bit of a joke—the not-so-funny kind. What part of “take up your cross daily” is restful? Or “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect?” Or “go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature?” Saint resumes are rarely short.
Yet over the years, I’ve come to see what I could not earlier: the yoke is the rest. To allow ourselves to be yoked to Jesus—to labor only with Him and for Him—is the ultimate rest. What does this mean? ... See MoreSee Less
