25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

Each year, the Catholic Church in the United States designates the third Sunday in September as Catechetical Sunday—a day on which to celebrate and pray for the Church’s mission to teach the Gospel to all people. This year’s theme is “I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you.” I am thankful for the dedicated catechists who devote their time to help with the religious formation of our youth in our religious education programs. I am grateful for the administration, faculty, and staff of St. Peter School who continues to foster in the children entrusted to their care the love of Jesus and the Church with a Catholic education.

Today, the second collection will be for the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC). Your support helps the CCC connect people to Christ in the United States and around the world through the Internet, television, radio, and print media. Half of the funds we collect remain here in the Archdiocese of New Orleans to support local efforts. Be a part of the campaign to spread the Gospel message.

The second collection next weekend will be for the Church Roof.

Have a Blessed Week!
