Dear Parishioners;

            This weekend, we are taking up the collection for the Catholic Communications Campaign (CCC).  Your support helps the CCC connect people to Christ, here and around the world, through the internet, television, radio, and print media.  Half of the funds collected will remain in the Archdiocese of New Orleans to support our local efforts in communicating Christ’ message.  Br s part of this campaign to spread the gospel message, and support the collection today! 

            The second collection will be for the Catholic Communications Campaign.

            The Phase I Confirmation students will participate in the Rite of Welcome at the 11:00  A.M. Mass today.  Please pray for them as they continue their journey of faith in preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

            The annual Priests’ Convocation will be from Tuesday, September 18 ^th through Thursday, September 20 ^th.   All priests of the Archdiocese of New Orleans are required to attend.  Deacon Richard will conduct a Liturgy of the Word and Communion Service on Wednesday and Thursday in place of the 6:30 A.M.

            Family Day will be celebrated on Sunday, September 23^rd, beginning with the 11:00 A.M.
