A letter from the Pastor
This weekend is Welcome Home Sunday! We are happy to have you join us for Mass today! Whether you are a lifelong parishioner, visiting for the first time, returning after many years away, or simply exploring the Catholic faith, we are grateful you are here. You are not here by accident. Christ knows you, loves you, and desires a relationship with you. Whatever your story may be, know that you are welcome here.
We invite you to take a next step. Join us for Mass again next week. Introduce yourself to one of our clergy, staff, or parishioners. Learn more about opportunities for prayer, formation, service, and community. Most importantly, know that there is a place for you here.
Please join us after the 8AM, 9:30AM, and & 11AM Masses in Immaculata Hall, for coffee, donuts and community!
Thank you for coming! Welcome Home!
May God Bless You,
Very Rev. Michael Lamy, V.F.
Welcome Home – August 16th – Archbishop Checchio is inviting EVERY Catholic in the Archdiocese of New Orleans to participate in Welcome Home by personally inviting ONE person to Mass.
Who is God placing on your heart?
On August 16, Catholics throughout the Archdiocese of New Orleans will celebrate Welcome Home
Sunday. Archbishop Checchio is inviting each of us to personally invite one person to Mass that weekend.
This week, begin with prayer. Ask the Sacred Heart of Jesus to place someone on your heart — a family
member, friend, coworker, neighbor, or someone who may be searching for hope, healing, purpose, or a
deeper relationship with God.
One invitation can change a life.
