Pope Leo has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, on April 3rd, which helps Christians in the Holy Land, where they are now less than 2% of the population. Your support is essential to help the Church minister in parish-es, provide Catholic schools and offer religious education. The Pontifical Good Friday Collection also helps to preserve the sacred shrines of Christianity, including Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem, to name a few. When you contribute to the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you join with Catholics around the world in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land. Please be generous.

Dear Friends: On Holy Saturday, April 4, the Regnum Christi lay group of the Legionaries of Christ Priests will sponsor a mission in our parish going door to door to invite people to come to church for Easter. They will meet in our parish hall at 9:00 AM for a training on how to visit the homes. Afterward they will go out as two person teams to speak to people in our parish neighborhoods. Lunch will be provided, and we will spend time in prayer and group reflection in the afternoon. It will end about 3:00 PM. This will be a wonderful opportunity for us to reach out to our Catholic and other neighbors. All are welcome to participate but please register so we can plan ahead. Missionaries under 18 y.o. must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Contact Shari Schexnayder at 504-579-6650 or missionyouthno-la@gmail.com. What a wonderful way to celebrate Easter Faith by welcoming our brothers and sisters! —- Yours in Christ, Fr. Lance
