31st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners;

            November 4 ^th -10 ^th is National Vocation Awareness Week.  During this week, I ask that you pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life.  Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, in his message for the 2018 World Day of Vocations, emphasized that it is at the loving initiative of God, and by His personal encounter with each of us, that one is called.  He  says, “Even amid these troubled times, the mystery of the Incarnation reminds us that God continually comes to encounter us.  He is God-with-us, who walks along the often dusty paths of our lives.  He knows our anxious and longing for love and He calls us to joy.  In the diversity and the uniqueness of each and every vocation, personal and ecclesial, there is a need to listen, discern  and live this word that calls to us from on high, and while enabling us to develop our talents, makes us instruments of salvation in the world and guides us to full happiness.”

            The second collection this weekend is for the Building-Maintenance Fund.  I ask for your continued support of this collection. 

            All parishioners are invited to the celebration of Confirmation on Monday, November 5^th at 7:00 P.M.  Archbishop Gregory Aymond will confer the sacrament on 12 students from St. Peter Parish and 1 student from St. Hubert Parish.  A reception will be held in the Lacour Center following Confirmation.

            The second collection next weekend is for the Msgr. Eyraud Collection. 

            Have a Blessed Week!
