5th Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners;

If you grew up Catholic, you may be familiar with the phrase, “Pray, pay, and obey.” Well, today’s Gospel presents a command of Jesus that can be described by another popular phrase, “Pay it Forward.” Jesus’ message is simple and clear if we’ve figured out who He really is—then the conclusion is logical. “As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.” All true love has its origins in God, who is love itself, and so the Christian believer must seek to love as God loves, and to share love as abundantly as God shares it with His creation. Love is the hallmark of the Christian life.

Congratulations to the recipients of the Order of St. Louis IX Medallion from St. Peter Parish. This year’s recipients are: Mrs. Kathleen “Colleen” Boudreaux and Mrs. Jeanette Boé Roussel. These ladies help out in various ways with the Altar Society and with the Bereavement Committee. Thank you for all you do for St. Peter Parish. They will receive the St. Louis Medallion today at St. Joseph Church in New Orleans by Archbishop Gregory Aymond.

Parishioners are invited to attend the Serra Club of the River Parishes Chartering Mass and Ceremony on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at St. Charles Borromeo Church in Destrehan. The Mass begins at 6:30 P.M. Archbishop Gregory Aymond will be the celebrant. A reception will follow the Mass. The Serra Club’s main focus is to foster vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

Summer is upon us with the end of school on Friday, May 24th. Have a safe, healthy, happy summer.

Have a Blessed Easter Week!
