33rd Sunday of Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners;

            This weekend, Catholic church parishes will take up a collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). In the United States, one in seven people lives in poverty. With this collection you support programs that address the causes of poverty and provide a sustainable future for those who are struggling across the country. In addition, twenty-five percent (25%) of funds collected remains in the Archdiocese of New Orleans to fund local anti-poverty projects.    Please prayerfully consider how you can support this collection and work on the margins. More information about the Catholic Campaign for Human Development can be found at www.usccb.org/cchd/collection.

            The second collection this weekend will be for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.

            Thanksgiving is here! I invite all parishioners to Thanksgiving Day Mass on Thursday, November 22^nd at 8:00 A.M. We all can come together as a community of faith to Thank God for the graces and blessings He has bestowed upon us this past year. Please note that there will be no 6:30 A.M. Mass on Thanksgiving Day.

            With Thanksgiving upon us, we know that Christmas is soon to follow; however, before Christmas is the beautiful season of Advent. I’d like to invite you to join me and your fellow parishioners for BEST ADVENT EVER, a free email program from Dynnamic Catholic. All you have to do is sign up at BestAdventEver.com. Each day you will receive an email with short inspirational videos, practcal tips for your everyday life, and real-life stories to encourage you in your faith journey. I hope you will sign up today. Remember, it’s free!

            HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
