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 process of discernment for the next formation group to be considered for the ministry of deacon will begin soon. Interested men who exhibit the possible stirrings of a call to serve are to please contact Deacon Phil or Fr. Raymond for further information.

We are in need of extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion and lectors.  Participating in the liturgy in these roles involves a sharing of your faith, as you become an instrument by which the sacred Body of Christ is offered and His Word is proclaimed.  Extraordinary ministers distribute Holy Communion at Mass and to the sick or homebound of our parish.  "The General Instruction of the Roman Missal reminds us that when the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to His people, and Christ, present in His own word, proclaims the Gospel."  Please consider an opportunity to serve the Lord and pray for His guidance.  If you would like to learn more or feel called to serve in either of these capacities, please contact the Rectory (837-8214) or Millie Moore (885-3973,   [email protected]).

We are sincerely grateful to The Chad Barcia Athletic Awareness Foundation for donating an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to our church  in memory of Chad Barcia, who died in 2005 at the age of 17 while playing rugby for De La Salle High School.  May God bless the good work of the Foundation, and we continue to pray for the happy repose of Chad.

If you would like to volunteer to bring up the offertory at weekend Mass, please arrive at least 10 minutes before Mass begins and notify one of the Ushers.  It’s that simple!
