This second collection this weekend, May 28-29, is for the Holy Name Society Rosary Broadcast.  Thank you for your generosity.

Beginning in 1946, the mission entrusted to the Holy Name Society of the Archdiocese of New Orleans by Archbishop Joseph Rummel, ninth Archbishop of New Orleans, was the sponsorship of a daily broadcast of the Rosary Prayer to the people of the greater New Orleans area.  Archbishop Rummel took this action as a direct response to the Blessed Virgin’s Request at Fatima for the daily recitation of the Rosary, which Our Lady has continually requested in appearances she has made since that time, most notably in Medjugorje, Bosnia-Hersogevina.  The Holy Name sponsorship of the daily broadcast of the Rosary has been endorsed by Archbishop Rummel’s successors, Cardinal Cody, Archbishops' Hannan, Schulte, Hughes, and Aymond.
The Rosary is recited daily at 6:00 p.m. on radio station WVOG (600) on the AM dial. The cost to continue the radio broadcasts is in excess of $6,000.00 annually.  The only source of income for expenses is the “RADIO ROSARY DRIVE” envelopes given out to each parish annually by the Holy Name Society members.  Anyone wishing to donate during the year can use the same envelopes and mail in with your parish’s name on it.  We thank you in advance for your generous contributions.  May God bless all of you.

The Bereavement and Support Group Ministry will begin having its monthly meetings on the second Thursday of the month at 6:15 p.m. in the Parish Center.  All those who wish to attend should contact Tom and Terry Canale at 504-833-4251 or the Rectory Office at 504-837-8214.
