October 8, 2017 Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time 4 Spiritual Adoption Program Please continue praying for your spiritually adopted baby. Please Pray Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion. Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen During the nine month Spiritual Adoption campaign, the development of the pre-born child will be displayed in the vestibule of the church. Please remember to pray daily for your Spiritual Adopted Baby and the baby’s mother and father. 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. Not a member? Want to become one? Call Mr. Danny @ 957-5848. New members always welcome!! Youth in grades 5 – 7 are invited to attend meetings the second Saturday of each month in the youth room. Meetings start at 6:30 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. Teens in grades 8 – 12 are invited to attend CYO meetings the 4th Saturday of every month in the youth room. Meetings start at 6:30 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. 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. We invite you to come out with us on this day to the site and keep a prayerful vigil. Please contact Cathy Gunn, Respect Life Coordinator, at 874-6892 to reserve your one-hour time slot between 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on October 20, 2017. 2018 Mass Book Opens The 2018 Mass Intention Book will open Friday, October 20th at 9 a.m. Mass Intentions will be taken in the Church Meeting Room, not in the Pastoral Center. Specific date requests will be handled on a first come, first served basis. In an attempt to be fair to everyone, you may only request one re-occurring single intention mass per month. (For example, you may not chose two Noon masses in the same month). If you are requesting several Mass Intentions, please have a list of dates prepared before coming to the Church Meeting Room. The stipend for each Mass is $5.00 (per date), as set by the Archdiocese. MASS INTENTIONS WILL NOT BE TAKEN OVER THE PHONE ON THIS DAY. To our soldiers… Please pray for those in Military service and for their families. May God bless you each for all you do for us each day. We will keep you in our hearts and for your safety we will pray.
