This is a celebration to help all realize that the Catholic Church is a homeland for all people of all cultural and ethnic traditions--a Church of many different faces. Come and join in the celebration.

Dr. Sheryl Jones will give a day of prayer and healing on Sat., March 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A retired physician, Dr. Jones is happy to be coming to her home parish for this day of prayer, healing and what-ever else the Lord may have in store for those who attend. “When people seek God in earnest, He has a way of show-ing up in ways we can’t imagine,” she said from her home in Hammond this week. The day begins at 10 a.m. and includes lunch. Those who come should bring a bible and a notebook. There is a minimal $5 registration fee for lunch and registration forms are available on the rack in church.

Attend Prayer Day WithDr. Sheryl Jones

The Good Children Society will once again sponsor their annual Lenten dinners every Friday during Lent be-ginning on Fri., March 7 at the society hall. Dinners can be picked up between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. $8 per plate.

Building and Plaque

Blessed This past Sunday, Feb. 16, was the blessing of the new bathroom building and the plaque signifying that the church is now on the National Register of Historic Places. After the Mass, Fr. Michael thanked Dr. Paul Leslie and Fr. Henry Gautreau for their contributions to the National Register Process. During the homily for the weekend he thanked the people of the parish for their financial donations toward the construction of the new building through the capital cam-paign. After Mass Fr. Michael invited parishioners to join him in procession out of the church through the main doors where he blessed the plaque and all the rooms of the new building. Those in attendance then enjoyed walking through the meeting room and marveled at the modern restroom fa-cility which replaced the old one built in the 1950s.
