Catholics are encouraged to vote YES for the Love Life Amendment (No. 1 on the ballot) in Louisiana on November 3. As you may be aware, the Louisiana Catholic Bishops have come out in strong support of this amendment because it will “amend the Louisiana Constitution and thereby continue to strengthen our commitment to end abortion in our state.” The Louisiana bishop’s statement reads: “Passage of the Love Life Amendment will have a dual effect. Primarily it will ensure that the state of Louisiana cannot establish the right to abortion at present or if Roe v Wade is overturned in the future. Secondly it will prohibit the funding of abortion through taxpayer dollars within our constitution. Without such an amendment, the invalidation of the many anti-abortion laws we have all advocated so strongly for in Louisiana remains a possibility."
If you are not currently registered to vote, you may register online only by October 13. Early voting will commence October 16-27, excluding Sundays, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Election Day, November 3, voting hours are from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. You may view your ballot and polling place on geauxvote.com.

St. Christopher's Response to COVID-19 in Phase 3
We can now celebrate public Mass with 75% occupancy of our church, which means 450 people will be able to attend Mass at a time, but we must observe six-feet social distancing. We will resume our regular Mass schedule, but shall continue to record the 4 p.m. Mass on Saturdays for the benefit of those who cannot attend Mass in church.
For now, the people of the Archdiocese are dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. If someone is vulnerable and not feeling well, out of charity, they should not celebrate Mass in church with others. Masks must be worn. Communion on the tongue is not encouraged. The sign of peace can be given by bowing or waving. As people depart from Mass, social distancing must be observed. The 75% church occupancy applies to Baptisms, weddings, and funerals as well.
Please view the video of Mass for this weekend on the St. Christopher Church YouTube channel featured below and continue to
check back with us for future homilies, meditations, and Rosaries that will be offered.
