We are sorry to report that Bishop Dominic Carmon, retired Auxiliary Bishop of New Orleans and former pastor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, passed away on Sunday, November 11. 

Bishop Carmon will be greatly missed.  He was pastor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish from 1997-2006 and was used by God at that time to bring unity and healing. 

Divine Mercy Parish owes a great deal to Bishop Carmon.  It was he who first obtained the property where our church now stands.

Read more about Bishop Carmon in this Clarion Herald article.

Funeral arrangements are as follows: 

• Friday, November 16 - Reception of the Body and Prayer Service at 12:oo noon, visitation following until 7:00 pm at Notre Dame Seminary. 
• Saturday, November 17 - Funeral Mass at 10:00 am at St. Louis Cathedral.
• Please keep Bishop Carmon, his family, and all who mourn his death in your prayers.  May he rest in peace.

​Advanced giving to through#iGiveCatholic is now available and Divine Mercy needs your support!

Divine Mercy Parish is a young but vibrant Catholic parish. The parish owes a great debt to its founding families and all the previous members of Nativity of Our Lord and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parishes who made Divine Mercy what it is today! Since the merger of the two parishes, Divine Mercy Parish has continued to grow in ministry, in members, and in service to our community. 

​We need new educational facilities on our new campus to grow with our parish. It is imperative that our youth are educated and formed on the campus where we celebrate Mass. The Eucharist should be the center of all we do in the classrooms, and all we do as a parish. New educational facilities will also alleviate problems of the current school campus.

​Wednesday November 21 at 7:00 PM in Divine Mercy Church
This Mass is a beautiful celebration of our community including an opening procession illustrating all we are thankful for!  Bring food for the poor and hold it until offertory.  The collection will be for St. Anthony Ministry to the Needy.  Blessed bread will be available for your Thanksgiving meal.  If you wish, bring wine or other food from your meal to be blessed.  Children & teens, bring symbols or drawings of what you are grateful for.
