Christopher West brought his “project of the heart” to Our Lady of the Lake Parish in Mandeville on Dec. 2, and almost 250 people were there to learn more about how to embrace and live God’s divine plan for man and woman. West, bestselling author, teacher, Theology of the Body expert, and founder of the Cor Project (“cor” is Latin for heart), was invited to speak on “Living the Joy of Love” by the Marriage and Family Life ministry at Our Lady of the Lake.
