13th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

Today’s opening antiphon invites us to clap our hands and shout with joy, for our God is a God of life. God brought life to the world at creation, making us in the divine image. Jesus brought new life to the world, redeeming us and preparing us for eternal life with the Lord. We come here today, as we do each Sunday, to hear the Word of God, to be nourished in the Eucharist, and to give praise and glory to God. May our lives, energized by the Holy Spirit, witness to the wonderful generosity of our God—our God of life.

Everyone is invited to the St. John the Baptist Civil Parish INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION on Thursday, July 1, 2021 on the grounds of St. Peter Church in Reserve and St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Edgard. Activities begin at 6:00 P.M. and concludes with Fireworks at 9:00 P.M. Food and drinks will be sold at the Msgr. Eyraud Knights of Columbus Hall. Also St. Peter School will be selling items under the portico.

The second collection next weekend is for the Building Maintenance Fund.

Have a Blessed week!
