2nd Sunday of Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners;

We  have returned to Ordinary Time in the Church calendar.  In about a month we will begin the season of Lent on Ash Wednesday, which is on February 14th this year.

Today’s readings concern the call of the disciples to follow Jesus.  In the Gospel, John the Baptist suggest to his disciples that they too, go with Jesus.  After spending time with Jesus they realize what John the Baptist meant when he said, “Behold the Lamb of God.”

Here is a little bit of history for you:  Fifty (50) years ago today, the present St. Peter Church was formally dedicated by Archbishop Philip M. Hannan.

Attention ALL married couples: Deacon Richard and Diane Abbondante will reflect on their married life of reaching together for God and will present several different methods of couple prayer that may help participants to grow closer to God and each other.  It will be held at St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Destrehan on Saturday, January 27, 2018 from 1:30 P.M.-4:30 P.M. The cost is $35.00 per couple.  Please see the flyer in today’s bulletin for further information.

Symbolon, Part 2: Living the Faith will begin on Monday, January 29th .  Session times will be at 10:00 A.M. in the Lacour Center and 7:00 P.M. in church. The sessions will be conducted by Deacon Richard and Diane Abbondante.  See the flyer in today’s bulletin for further information.
