Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
Are you or someone you know interested in
becoming Catholic? If you answered “Yes” then
please read on...
In August we will begin our next class for adults
interested in learning about the Catholic faith using the
Rite of Chr istian Initiation of Adults or RCIA. These
classes are for the un-baptized, those baptized in another
Christian faith who wish to become Catholic, and for
baptized Catholics who have not yet received the
sacraments of First Communion or Confirmation. If you
are interested in registering or need additional
information, please call the Pastoral Center at 347-2203.
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. By name! Daily!
Please call our Parish Secretary, Kelli, at (347-2203)
with the names of your active duty loved ones. Let us
show our love for them with our prayers.
R.C.I.A. begins in August
and will be held upstairs in the Pastoral Center.
Please note the new date and location.
After all Masses August 6th & 7th
All proceeds from the Bake Sale will help the
VOL Pre K program in purchasing new equipment.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society of Visitation of Our
Lady Church would like to thank the school children for
bringing in so much food at the end of the school year and
for helping with the Thanksgiving baskets last year. We
gave out 56 baskets along with gift cards for turkeys.
Also, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office donated 50
baskets and fifty turkeys. All together, we gave out a total
of 106 baskets for Thanksgiving. We also gave out 100
baskets and turkeys for Christmas.
We would also like to thank the Men’s Club, Benny
Smith, the Makin Groceries Ministry, everyone that donated
money and food and to Christ the King Church SVDP for
helping us this summer to keep the food pantry stocked.
We appreciate everyone helping out with this wonderful
ministry.
