October 15, 2017 Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time 4 Spiritual Adoption Program Month 9 – Happy Birthday Your spiritually adopted baby has been born- - nine months after his/her mother conceived him/her. The only change at birth is a change in the external life support system of the baby. He/she is no different now than he/she before birth except that he/she breathes and eats differently. He/she is truly a miracle. He/she began as a 46-chromosome cell and has developed over the past nine months into this unique human baby. Never before in history, nor ever again, will anyone exist who is just like your spiritually adopted baby. Your prayers saved his/her life. Thank you on behalf of all of the little babies that you cared enough to pray for him/her and his/her mother. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your spiritually adopted baby. A bassinette has been placed in the vestibule of the church. Please place your baby bottle with contributions in the bassinet either before or after each mass. Baby Bottle Campaign   Our Baby Bottle Campaign has begun. Please place your baby bottle with your contribution to the Woman’s New Life Center in the Baby Crib on display in the church vestibule. 40 DAYS FOR LIFE As the 40 Days for Life New Orleans Campaign continues, let us be reminded that our parish has adopted October 20, 2017, to keep vigil outside of the Planned Parenthood Facility, 46365 Claiborne Avenue, New Orleans.
