4th Sunday of Lent

Dear Parishioners

As we journey together during Lent, we are at the midway point of our experience. Today is traditionally known as “Laetare Sunday” because we anticipate the joy we will feel on Easter. During the Lenten season we remain a joyful people because we believe that God loves us despite our sinfulness. God loves us so much that Jesus the Christ sacrificed Himself so that we may be redeemed and born into eternal life. We hear the famous Scripture passage today, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life” [John 3:16].

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) will once again be held in every Catholic church parish of the Archdiocese of New Orleans on Wednesday, March 17th from 5:00 P.M.— 6:30 P.M.

On the weekend of March 20th and 21st , the Archdiocese of New Orleans will host an important second collection to raise funds to offset the cost of educating seminarians at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans and St. Joseph Seminary College in St. Benedict (Covington), Louisiana. Please give what you can to support the future priests of the Archdiocese.

Have a Blessed Lenten week!
