3rd Sunday of Lent

Dear Parishioners,

During the season of Lent, we are aware of our need for mercy and forgiveness. God’s mercy and forgiveness came to full fruition in Jesus the Christ, who redeemed us by taking on our failings, our sins, our mortality. In the responsorial psalm we prayed, “God has the words of everlasting life.” As we journey during this third week of Lent, we look to God this day for words of mercy and love as we recommit ourselves to our Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

The second collection this weekend is for the Building Maintenance Fund.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) will be available on the next three Wednesdays of Lent (March 10, March 17, and March 24) from 5:00 P.M. - 6:30 P.M. As Archbishop Aymond says in his letter, “The heart of Jesus is open and He invites you to know and accept His mercy.”

On the weekend of March 20 th and 21 st , the Archdiocese of New Orleans will host a very important second collection to raise funds to offset the costs of educating seminarians at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans and St. Joseph Seminary College in St. Benedict (Covington), Louisiana. Please give what you can in this endeavor.

Have a Blessed Lenten week!
