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 (504-837-8214) or Millie Moore (504-885-3973,   [email protected]).
