Volunteering for a Mission of Mercy is an incredible experience you will likely never forget! To accomplish our goals, we plan to do the following at LaMOM: Louisiana Mission of Mercy provides free dental care for low-income adults and children. You can choose to work one half day, one whole day or both days. We will also need help with setup and take down. Volunteers must be 18 years of age but DO NOT have to be dental professionals. There are plenty volunteer opportunities for everyone! Volunteers are needed in all areas, regardless of dental experience. ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST REGISTER ONLINE AT www.rsvpbook.com/lamom2016 so that we may prepare food and shirts (as well as licensure and liability coverage for doctors and hygienists). WE WILL NOT BE ABLE VOLUNTEERS AS WALK-INS. TO ACCEPT Alario Center, Westwego, LA Set Up Day Thurs., Sept. 29, 2016 Clinic Days Fri., Sept. 30 & Sat., Oct. 1 Each month from now on, VOL will place in the last bulletin of each month the names of our active duty soldiers so that we can pray for them.

Let us show our love for them with our prayers. #SundaySelfie Tag a selfie of yourself with your church in the background with#SundaySelfie for a chance to win a special prize from the Archdiocese of New Orleans! #NOLACatholics are blessed with over 100 places to worship the Lord at Mass on Sunday mornings. Let's celebrate our home parish or a special visit to a neighboring one by taking a photo with the church in the background and posting it to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #SundaySelfie. Each week, one #SundaySelfie participant will be selected randomly to win a special prize just for submitting the photo and being a digital disciple! It's one simple way we can "witness with joy"! Prayer for Protection against Storms and Hurricanes Our Father in Heaven, through the intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, spare us during this Hurricane Season from all harm. Protect us and our homes from all disasters of nature. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
