Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
For over 45 years, Come, Lord Jesus! has provided active Bible Study for Catholics in synchrony with the Sunday Readings of the Catholic Church. This inspiring program was developed by Father Conley Bertrand, a Catholic priest of the diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana. Graced with a love for prayer and Scripture and an ardent zeal, he sought to communicate these qualities to his parishioners.
What is your primary product or service?
Come, Lord Jesus! is a Bible Study and So Much More! Come, Lord Jesus! transforms the lives of its members into the very likeness of Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18). Members become persons of deep prayer. They come to know and live the Scriptures. They witness their faith in word and deed.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
In 1969, Fr. Bertrand began gathering Scripture text reflecting a particular theme and used these texts to form a program. In 1974,Come, Lord Jesus! began to flourish. Amazingly, some groups who began the program over 40 years where previous attempts failed to keep groups together, this new program worked; members continued to meet week after week.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
There are no other programs like this!
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Currently there are hundreds of groups scattered throughout the Lafayette Diocese and in most other Dioceses of Louisiana, in many other states, and even in other countries. We are expanding daily. We now have a Spanish version of Come, Lord Jesus!.
