Visitation of Our Lady Parish welcomes Deacon Paul Clark, a transitional deacon who will be serving a 6-month internship at our parish. Deacon Paul moved to Violet, Louisiana from Ohio in August, 2006 when he worked with Habitat for Humanity and other programs to help rebuild the community after Hurricane Katrina. In working with others and witnessing God’s graces, he felt called to the religious life. He loves movies, reading, and exercising, and speaks Spanish. Deacon Paul is scheduled to be ordained to the priesthood next year. National Catholic Youth Conference The NCYC will be held November 19 - 21 in Indianapolis and the VOL CYO is asking for your help! The cost per attendee is $675. It is mandatory that the parents pay the deposit of $75, leaving a balance of $600. This is where you come in. We are asking for parishioners and ministries to either sponsor a CYO student, or to make a donation to the CYO to help defray the cost of the trip. The teen members are very excited to attend this conference, and will have various fund raisers to help with their cost. The kids that went two years ago got a lot out of the trip. They grew closer to God and had a really good time. Donations may be made online HERE or by contacting the VOL Youth Minister, Danny Laurent at 957-5848. If you are a teen who would be interested in joining the VOL CYO, or would like to make a donation to the CYO please call Youth Director, Danny Laurent at 957-5848. -5-
