Your 5th, 6th, and 7th grade boys and girls will reflect on the above scripture passage and consider one or more of these questions in their response:
·Where do we see the Holy Spirit in our lives?
·How can we be open to seeing the Holy Spirit’s presence even more than we do already?
·How does Easter “renew the face of the earth?”
Entries must be received by Monday, April 17th at 3:15 p.m. Entries can be submitted in electronic or print form to school to the attention of Mr. Thomas Mavor. Participation and winner recognition will occur during the week of April 24th. Special prizes for the essay contest will be announced with the winning recipients, and their essays will be published on our website and in The Clarion Herald.

LENT AND EASTER GUIDELINES
THE LENTEN SEASON
A distinction is to be made between Lent and the Easter Triduum. Strictly speaking, Lent ends with the beginning of the Triduum on Holy Thursday. The Ordo notes: “Lent runs from Ash Wednesday until the Mass of the Lord’s Supper exclusive on Holy Thursday.”
FASTING AND ABSTINENCE
Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those who are bound to fast may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted, if necessary, to maintain strength according to each one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.
Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years or older on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and on all Fridays of Lent. N.B. This year St Patrick's Day falls on a Friday. Archbishop Aymond has granted permission for Catholics to eat meat on March 17th but has encouraged Catholics to abstain from meat on another day of the week. The determination of certain days as obligatory days of penance should not be understood as limiting the occasions for Christian penance.

The delegation for all Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, with the exception of those who completed the Basic Workshop after January 1, 2023, will expire at the end of November 2023. In order to be delegated for a new five-year term, each EMHC must participate in either a redelegation session in their parish or in the live redelegation session conducted by the Office of Worship. Please note that new Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion must attend one of the basic formation workshops. Attendance at a redelegation session does not fulfill the formation requirement for new EMHC. The redelegation workshop materials for parish led sessions will be sent to each parish this summer and will consist of a video welcome by Archbishop Aymond, a video presentation, and time for pastors to address particular matters pertaining to his parish. In order to create the video presentation, one live archdiocesan led redelegation workshop has been scheduled. This presentation will be held on Saturday, April 22 from 1-3 pm at St. Dominic Church. Attendance at this recording will fulfill the archdiocesan requirements for redelegation.Read More -

On the weekend of April 29/30, our second collection will be for Catholic Home Missions. “Home Missions” is the name for dioceses and parishes in the United States, including its territories and former territories, which cannot provide basic pastoral services to Catholics without outside help. Basic pastoral services include Mass and sacraments, religious education, and ministry training for priests, deacons, religious sisters and lay people. For many decades, the Church in the United States has sent missionaries overseas to serve the people of Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The home missions are dioceses and parishes here in the United States that need the same kind of support. Where are the home missions? Surprisingly, the Catholic Church is poorly established in many parts of our country, especially Appalachia, the South, the Southwest along the Mexican border, the Rocky Mountain States, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and remote island chains like the Marshalls and the Carolines in the Pacific. Generally speaking, the home missions are everywhere that Catholics are few and the Church is fragile.Read More

Mother Church Cookbook For Sale
The Mother Church Cookbook Is the Perfect gift for Mom, mother's to be, or anyone that likes to cook or is forced to cook.Founded in 1857, St. Joseph Church in Historic Gretna is the “Mother Church” of 14 Catholic parishes in West Jefferson all the way to Grand Isle. Built in 1927, this building is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
The Mother Church needs your help. She needs a “face-lift” and major “do-over.” The protective sealant over the stucco on the exterior of the church is crumbling and a minimum of 80% of the sealant must be removed and re-applied, with a paint job to follow. Work on the auditorium is needed as well.
The cookbook benefits the $500,000 Restoration Fund needed to return the Mother Church to her former beauty!
Thank you for your help.
To order, go to top line of this website and click on Mother Church Cookbook or, if you are on a cell phone, look to the left for the three vertical bars on top of each other and click the bars.
Prayer for a Stewardship Parish
Dear Heavenly Father,
My parish is composed of people like me; I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver.
It will bring other people into its worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them.It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a parish with a noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with Your help, O God, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all things that I want my parish to be.

The Mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul - “A network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need.” Our Accomplishments – In 2022, within the Joseph and St Anthony Church Parishes boundaries, we assisted 84 families (a total of 360 people) of all religious affiliations with rental assistance, utility payments, clothing, food, and moral support. Through the generous support of its members, those who place money in the poor boxes, those who contribute monthly with their SVdP envelopes, and fund-raisers, the SVdP Society was gifted with $25,385 to assist the poor. $29,653 was distributed to those in need. Your generosity made that possible. Along with the funds distributed, the SVdP Society gave 682 hours of service to the community and drove 646 miles to reach those in need. How to Receive Help – Please leave a voice mail on our phone line (504) 298-6907. A team member will contact you to set up an appointment for a home visit. How to Provide Help – Monetary donations are accepted by placing funds in the Poor Box inside St Joseph and St Anthony Churches. How to Join the Society of St. Vincent de Paul – We welcome all to attend our monthly meetings held in the St Joseph Church Office on the first Wednesday of each month at 3 p.m. We begin at 2:45 p.m. by reciting the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Welcome to St. Joseph Catholic Church
Since 1857, when Fr. Thaddaeus Anwander, CSSR, celebrated the first Mass in Gretna on Christmas Day, until the present time, God has blessed our St. Joseph Parish with dedicated priests, religious nuns, and laymen and women, to carry on the life of St, Joseph Parish.
May this Website help us to acknowledge our past, to recognize our brothers and sisters in Christ of the present, and to unite our parish family ever more in the future. -
