2nd Sunday of Lent

Dear Parishioners,

As we continue our Lenten journey, we hear stories of two significant journeys in the history of our faith. First, Abraham travels to a distant land with his son, Isaac, where his devotion and obedience to God will be put to their greatest test. Secondly, Jesus leads His closest disciples up a high mountain where He will be transfigured in glory. As we continue our journey this Lent, may fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, transform us into more loving and devoted disciples of Jesus.

The second collection this weekend, February 24-25, 2024, is for Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of New Orleans. The support of this collection provided crucial funds that enable Catholic Charities to bring help and support to those in need within the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

I encourage you to join your fellow parishioners in praying the Stations of the Cross on Fridays of Lent. This week, the Station will only be at 6:00 P.M. because of the early dismissal of St. Peter School.

Don’t forget about the Friday night Lenten dinners at St. Peter School. Please pre-order your meal so that one will be available for you.

Our Lenten Mission this year will be on Monday, March 11th and Tuesday, March 12th at 6:30 P.M. Deacon Richard and Diane Abbondante will lead the Mission. The theme is Jesus Christ is Our Real Presence of God in the Eucharist. The Mission talks will take place within a Eucharistic Holy Hour.

Have a Blessed Lenten Week.
