30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

The Old Testament lists more than 600 laws by which the Israelite people were to live. Jesus, in fulfilling the law, tells us that the whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments: loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Living by God’s law is the best advertisement in drawing others to want to know and follow Jesus. Our actions really do speak louder than our words.

The Feast of All Saints falls on a Sunday this year. We will have our regular weekend Mass schedule. The Blessing of the Cemetery will take place following the 11:00 A.M. Mass. Unfortunately, we will not serve chicken and andouille gumbo this year because of COVID-19.

Please support the second collection next weekend, October 31-November 1 for the cemetery. Your contributions help maintain our beautiful cemetery.

The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated here in the parish on Monday, November 2 nd at 7:00 P.M. We are pleased to welcome Archbishop Alfred Hughes, archbishop emeritus to St. Peter Parish to celebrate with us the Sacrament of Confirmation. This year we have twelve (12) young men and women and two (2) adults who will be confirmed. Please keep all of them in your prayers that they will be receptive to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

Have a Blessed week!
