An important letter from Archbishop Aymond will be read at all Masses this weekend. He reminds us that the what we know today as the "obligation for Catholics to participate in Mass every Sunday" is an "invitation from God to grow in love with Him and to better know ourselves as Catholics." On June 6, the Feast of Corpus Christi, the obligation will be restored in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Archbishop Aymond encourages all of us in a special way to "consider the Lord's invitation to 'come back to the table.'" Click Here to read his letter.
