New Life Prayer Group

1/4/2020

The next meeting will be February 12th, 2020. 7:00-8:00 PM in the Community Center.

The New Life Prayer Group meets the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays of the month. We WILL NOT meet on Feb 26th as it is Ash Wednesday.

New Life Prayer Group Meetings contain praise & worship, brief preaching, and invitation to respond and receive prayer for spiritual, emotional, & physical healing. It is NOT Mass. It is a shot in the arm mid-week to experience the Lord, and it’s only an 1 hour. All ages are welcome. We have had a few couples express a desire for child care so they could attend more regularly so we are working toward it.

Elementary Catechesis

9/10/2019

Registration for Elementary Catechesis for the 2019-2020 school year is ongoing! Elementary Catechesis is our Parish Religious Education program for children in grades Kindergarten-5th Grade. All children who are not in Catholic school are invited and encouraged to attend, including and especially those who have already received their First Communion.

2 Important Changes:
1. Starting in August 2019, Elementary Catechesis will no longer be on the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (SEAS) Site. Catechesis will also be moving to the Divine Mercy Church Site into the new school buildings!

2. We just held our first Catechesis session on Tuesday, September 3rd, where we gathered together as a community for Mass at 6:30 PM, followed by showing the families where we will be gathering for the Catechesis sessions this year. For those who were unable to make it on September 3rd, that's okay! Please join us on Tuesday, September 10th. It is not too late to sign up!

We will be meeting at the 2-story school building in the back behind the Church starting on September 10th. There will be a few adults and signs there to guide you all to where you need to go. All classes will be held in the 2-story building.

Adults and teens, including parents and relatives of the children attending Catechesis, are invited and encouraged to serve and volunteer.

For more information and to register, or if you would like to volunteer, go to the Elementary Catechesis page. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please call the office and ask to speak with Jacques Delouche, or you may e-mail Jacques.

RCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults - Interest in Becoming Catholic or Confirmation?

9/10/2019

Are you currently interested or desiring to become baptized? Were you baptized in a different Christian faith, but are now desiring to join the Catholic Church? Have you already been baptized as a Catholic, but have not received First Communion and/or Confirmation? Are you interested in asking more questions about the Catholic faith, or wanting to speak with one of us?

If this applies to you, then please come join us on the RCIA Journey and Process! Please feel free to call the church office, or e-mail Jacques Delouche. You may also pick up a form in the Narthex, or download one from the website as well. For more information or to get a form, please click here.

Special Note: Due to the New Orleans Saints opening game taking place on Monday, September 9th, we will be meeting instead on Wednesday, September 11th, at 7:00 PM, at Divine Mercy Church.
All RCIA sessions following the first one will still be on Monday evenings in the Parish Community
Center, starting September 16th, from 7:00-8:30 PM.

Spanish RCIA will be meeting still on Thursday evenings, starting on September 12th.

If you are unable to make the first RCIA session, but you are still and desire to join the Catholic Church and/or receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, please contact us as soon as possible and join us for the next session!

If Mondays (or Thursdays) do not work, but you are still interested, this is very flexible and we are willing to meet with you on other days and times that are preferable and still offer opportunities for your faith growth. Please contact the Church and again, ask to speak with Jacques Delouche so we can set up a time and get this process started.
