31st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

We welcome the Most Reverend Alfred C. Hughes, Archbishop Emeritus, to St. Peter Parish. He will confirm twenty-four (24) students and adults from St. Peter and St. Hubert Parishes on Monday, November 6th at 7:00 P.M. I invite all parishioners to attend the Confirmation Liturgy on Monday night.

The second collection this weekend will be for the Building Maintenance Fund.

I am sure that you are all aware of the Archdiocese’s announcement about consolidation and merging of parishes within the Archdiocese of New Orleans. As the Archbishop said in his letter, St. Hubert Parish in Garyville will be merged into St. Peter Parish in Reserve. St. Hubert will have only one Mass each weekend. I ask for your prayers for the parishioners of St. Hubert as they begin dealing with the loss of their parish. All mergers will be effective July 1, 2024.

The U.S. Marine Forces Reserve Concert Band will perform at the St. John Theatre on Tuesday, November 7th at 7:00 P.M. The concert is FREE and open to the public.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take place on Wednesday, November 8th . Adoration begins at 1:00 P.M. and concludes with Benediction at 6:00 P.M. This would be a good time for us to make an effort to spend one (1) hour with our Eucharistic Lord for the spiritual needs of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

Saturday, November 11th is Veterans Day. We remember all of our veterans of the U.S. armed forces, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice. On this day, we also remember our beloved pastor, Msgr. Jean Eyraud. Msgr. Eyraud was born on November 11, 1880. May each of us pray to Msgr. Eyraud for him to continue to intercede for our parish.

Have a Blessed Week!
