3rd Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners,

During the Easter season, we hear how the disciples encounter the Risen Christ at different times and in different ways—all the while trying to understand the meaning of the Resurrection. In today’s Gospel from the Gospel of Luke, two disciples recounted their experience of the Risen Christ on the road of Emmaus and how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread—an early understanding and connection to the Eucharist. We too are called to contemplate the implications of the Resurrection and consider how we see the Risen Lord in our lives. It helps us gather at Church, where we can seek the presence of Christ as we worship: in the assembly, in the ministers, in the Word of God, in the Holy Sacrifice, and in the Eucharist. This week let us pray that we may better discern the Lord in our midst.

The Msgr. Eyraud Knights of Columbus monthly dinner is Sunday, April 14th .

The second collection next weekend, April 20- 21, 2024, will be for the Retired Priests of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. I ask for your support of this collection, as I will be a retired priest in a couple of months.

Have a Blessed Easter week!
