3rd Sunday of Lent

Dear Parishioners,

On this Third Sunday of Lent, we hear God deliver the Ten Commandments to Moses and the Chosen People. The commandments provide a way for them to live up to their part of the covenant. We face the same challenge today. Lent is a wonderful opportunity to examine our consciences and recall times when we have failed to follow one of God’s commands and determine which one of the commandments we find difficult to obey consistently.

The second collection today is for the Building Maintenance Fund.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is on Wednesday, March 6th. Adoration begins at 1:00 P.M. and concludes with Benediction at 6:00 P.M.

For the next three Wednesdays, the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) will be available in all Catholic church parishes of the Archdiocese of New Orleans from 5:00 P.M.-6:30 P.M.

The Msgr. Eyraud Knights of Columbus monthly dinner will be on Sunday, March 10th. Please pre-order your meal to ensure that one will be available for you. Please see the bulletin for further information.

Remember the Friday night Lenten Dinners at St. Peter School. Please pre-order your meal to make sure one will be available for you to enjoy.

Our Lenten Mission will be on Monday, March 11th and Tuesday, March 12th. The theme is Jesus Christ is Our Real Presence of God in the Eucharist. I am very happy to have Deacon Richard and Diane Abbondante lead the Mission. The Mission talks will be within a Eucharistic Holy Hour. The Mission begins at 6:30 P.M.

Have a Blessed Lenten Week!
